Lincoln to launch its own Speaker’s Corner

You may have noticed a familiar face in the media this week. Solicitor Director Richard Dale has been on Look North and quoted in the Lincolnshire Echo publicising the Lincoln Speakers Corner Trust, of which he is the founding committee Chairman.

The new Speakers Corner in Lincoln will provide an open platform for public speaking, with an ethos of free speech and the sharing of ideas echoed from the original Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, London.

A pilot study on the 20th Feb to find suitable venues was highly successful, and attracted an enthralled and entertained audience.Dale & Co. Solicitors Lincoln Disclaimer Latest legal news from Dale and Co. Solicitors Lincoln

Confused about Lasting Powers of Attorney?

Recent media coverage has left local people confused according to Lincoln Solicitor Richard Dale, who attends a weekly legal surgery at Age Concern.

"Lasting Powers of Attorney have attracted a lot of attention and we have experienced a surge in enquiries. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions about things such as your health care or finances on your behalf at a time in the future when you may lack the mental capacity to make those decisions for yourself. The recent change from the Enduring Power of Attorney to the Lasting Power of Attorney has meant that some people are now feeling worried about whether they need to make a Lasting Power of Attorney, and if their existing Enduring powers are still valid. We are happy to help whether you have a quick question or need more detailed advice." Said Mr Dale

Dale & Co. Solicitors has provided a free guide which is available from the office on Beaumont Fee or from Age Concern.

Lasting Powers of Attorney were introduced in 2007 and replaced the Enduring Powers of Attorney. The Lasting Powers have additional safeguards included to protect you from fraud which require a certificate provider and to register the document with the Office of the Public Guardian. Their are two different types - one for your finances (similar to those issues considered in the Enduring Power of Attorney) and one which includes your wishes for your personal welfare, such as medical treatment and care homes, which the Enduring Powers of Attorney did not set out.

If you have made an Enduring Power of Attorney it is still valid and will need to be registered if it becomes necessary for the Powers to be used. You can also make a Personal Welfare Lasting Powers of Attorney to run alongside your existing Enduring Powers of Attorney to cover those issues not included in your original document.
