Is this really progress? We use to include enduring powers of attorney free with all wills we wrote but now we have to make a small charge for them, still nothing like the figures being quoted by high street solicitors. I would appreciate peoples views on what they think about the new lasting power of attorney and do they believe that they are viable at the kind of prices being quoted by high street solicitors? www.gb-legal.com The new lasting power of attorney has been in place since October 2007, yet on a recent call around local solicitors I found 6 out of 10 were not yet in a position to issue them and the remaining 4 wanted between £600 and £1200 per document, with two being required per person, if both personal welfare and property and affairs were to be taken care of.
