Can a Lasting Power of Attorney be abused?
Frances Macdonald, Senior Associate at Tees, outlines key steps you can take—supported by your solicitor—to reduce the risk of abuse
I am a Senior Associate solicitor in the Wills, Tax, Trusts and Probate Team. My work involves preparing Wills, dealing with probates, advising on and preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney, preparing Court of Protection applications for financial matters and other related work.
I am committed to providing a high standard of client care tailored to your particular needs. I aim to keep you informed of the process involved and to ensure that your wishes are accurately reflected.
Our will preparation has been undertaken by Frances Gill and her paralegal, Omor Abedin. It was made clear that the drafts would be available within a reasonable timeframe, and this was the case. Frances also followed up with us when we had failed to respond to a recommendation.
I qualified in April 2015 having completed my Training Contract with a full service London law firm. I joined Tees in 2015, where I have worked my way up and enjoy helping clients.
