Legal guides
Power of Attorney
How to give someone legal authority to act on your behalf, and why you should do it before you think you need it. Covers both types of LPA, the certificate provider role, and what happens without one.
Writing a Will
What makes a will legally valid, what a will can and cannot cover, and what happens if you die without one. Covers intestacy rules, the witness requirements, and when a solicitor is worth the cost.
Changing Your Name
Whether you need a deed poll, what one actually is, and the full list of organisations you need to notify after a name change — DVLA, HMRC, passport, bank, and more.
More legal guides coming
Parce is building out guides to cover the legal processes most people encounter but rarely feel prepared for. Coming in future sessions:
Conveyancing: what happens when you buy or sell a property, what a conveyancing solicitor does, and what the process looks like from offer to completion.
Probate: how to administer an estate after a death, when a grant of probate is needed, and what the executor is responsible for.
Immigration: visas, settlement, British citizenship, and the life in the UK test.
These pages will be added as the Parce legal hub grows. The guides already live are the highest-priority ones for the most people. If there is something specific you need that is not here yet, let us know using the feedback option above.
