I cannot recommend Matthew Whaley highly enough!
During an incredibly stressful time with my father—when I genuinely feared we might lose him—I found myself in a difficult family situation. Everyone had differing opinions, and my mum and sister were convinced we didn’t need an LPA or that we could handle it ourselves.
You patiently helped me understand why it was so important to seek professional help rather than rely on well-meaning but misguided advice.
You took the time to explain everything clearly, answering every single question with patience and without the usual legal jargon. What felt like an overwhelming and complex process suddenly became manageable, thanks to your expertise and guidance.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this experience, it’s this—do not wait until the last minute to arrange an LPA. Do it now. Think of it like holiday insurance: you hope you won’t need it, but if you do, it can be a complete lifesaver.
There is nothing worse than facing a crisis, only to realise that critical decisions must go through the courts—a process that is stressful, time-consuming, and costly.
Yes, you can create an LPA yourself, but much like hiring a professional cleaner, bringing in an expert saves you time, stress, and often money in the long run. If it’s done incorrectly, the delays and complications can cause significant additional stress.
Your professionalism, expertise, and approachable nature make you the perfect person to guide people through this important process. I wholeheartedly recommend your services and encourage everyone who hasn’t yet arranged an LPA for themselves or their loved ones to do it now—don’t delay!
