Who We Are


A quieter, more orderly experience for people preparing future-planning documents.

Our Story

Lasting Powers began with a simple idea: preparing future-planning documents should not feel intimidating.

Eleanor Wade established the practice after supporting families with private-client paperwork and appointment administration. She wanted a quieter, more orderly experience for people who found future-planning documents intimidating.

Since then, the practice has grown carefully, strengthening the parts of the process that matter most to the families we help: clear preparation, careful review and well-organised appointments.

A Deliberately Limited Scope

The practice has kept a deliberately limited scope. Rather than presenting every family situation as a standard document exercise, we have strengthened our referral arrangements for complex matters.

Where there are complex legal or capacity concerns, we refer you for appropriate specialist advice.
