All practicing solicitors have these powers but must not use them in proceedings in which they are acting for any parties or in which they have an interest. These powers granted are to administer oaths, take affidavits and statuary declarations.

This is an appointment automatically granted to certain legal professionals who are in practice om their respective profession or to some others because their position or role in the legal system.

“A solicitor authorized to administer an oath to a person making affidavit.”

POWER OF ATTORNEY

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or make decisions on your behalf. This gives you more control over what happens to you if, for example, you have an accident or an illness and can’t make decisions at the time they need to be made (you ‘lack mental capacity’.) You must be 18 or over and have mental capacity – the ability to make your own decisions – when you make you LPA.

There are 2 types of LPA.
•    Health and welfare £700 Plus VAT PLUS £82 Court Fee
•    Property and financial affairs £700 Plus VAT PLUS £82 Court Fee

CHANGE OF NAME DEED

While changing your name you need a Deed Poll. A deed poll is a legal document that proves a change of name. You can change any part, add or remove names and hyphens, or change spelling. We can draft a change of name deed; and/or witness signatures of the person making a change of name deed.

STATUTORY DECLARATION
A statutory declaration is a legal document defined under the law of certain Commonwealth nations. It is like a statement made under oath, however, it is not sworn. Statutory declarations are commonly used to allow a person to affirm something to be true for the purposes of satisfying some legal requirement or regulation when no other evidence is available. They are thus like affidavits (which are made on oath).

Depending on jurisdiction, statutory declarations can be used for:
•    Declarations of identity, nationality, marital status, etc. when documentary evidence is unavailable.
•    Declaring the intention to change one’s name.
•    Affirming the provenance and nature of good for export or import.
•    Bank/building society or credit card statements.
