The conversation your family has been putting off.
The most expensive failure in adult-child / ageing-parent households is the conversation that never happens.
An LPA not registered in time. A pension nomination never updated after a divorce, forty years ago.
A care preference never written down that a family discovers only during a hospital admission, when a rushed decision must be made from fragments. A Carer's Allowance claim never made — worth over £4,000 a year — because no one formalised the arrangement.
This document does not eliminate these conversations — it gives them a structure, a starting point, and a written record.
What is included.
One document, prepared as a single PDF. Structured into the twelve sections below, so each part of the conversation has its own place.

Capacity is a one-way door — the route that is simple while your parent can choose closes the moment it is lost.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is made and registered while your parent still has capacity — the Office of the Public Guardian fee is £92 to register each LPA, £184 for both types.
Remission or exemption can apply on a low income or means-tested benefits.
If capacity is lost first, the only route is a Court of Protection deputyship — the application fee is £432 (plus a £100 assessment for new deputies), and it is slower, supervised, and decided by a court rather than by your parent.
Who acts for them is a choice only your parent can make, and only while they still can.
Acting early is the one window in which the decision stays fully theirs.

Why £79?
A social worker's carers assessment — free but takes months; covers needs not planning
A personally-prepared document pack covering the planning conversations your family needs to have, delivered within one business day.
Nothing you start with is wasted. The £79 counts in full toward anything more expensive for 30 days — £79 off the £179 Executor’s First Hour, or off the Household Continuity Dossier’s first year. Use the same email at checkout and it applies automatically.
Start free if you would rather. Supporting a Parent covers the same ground without charge, and the LPA readiness check tells you whether an LPA is the missing piece before you spend anything — both free, no account.
Your council’s carers assessment is free too, as the table above says. What £79 adds is a prepared pack, written from your answers within one business day: the conversations to have, in what order, against your parent’s position rather than the general case.
Who this pack is for.
Adult children whose parent is 65 or older and has not yet registered an LPA.
Families preparing for a hospital admission, diagnosis, or care conversation.
Households where one adult carries most of the practical and caring knowledge.
This document provides structured information to help you understand a planning process. It does not constitute legal, tax, financial, medical, or care advice.
For advice specific to your parent's circumstances, consult a qualified solicitor, GP, or care professional. LPA registration should be completed while your parent has legal capacity; if you are concerned about current capacity, speak to a solicitor before attempting to register.
