We look after what matters most to you
We provide independent oversight and safeguarding so your wishes, finances and wellbeing are protected — now and in the future.
How we protect you
A carefully structured starting point
Everything begins while you are still able to make your own decisions. We work with you to create a clear record of how your money should be used, your priorities and preferences, and who should be involved.
Independent decision-making
If we act as your attorney, we do so independently of family pressures, in accordance with your recorded wishes, and in line with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
Full transparency
We maintain a complete record of all financial decisions, clear documentation of reasoning, and regular reporting. Nothing is hidden. Everything can be reviewed.
Dual control for significant decisions
For larger or unusual transactions, we apply additional safeguards including dual authorisation, independent review, and reference back to your recorded wishes.
Protection against pressure and conflict
As an independent party, we remove personal pressure from decision-making, provide a neutral, balanced approach, and help prevent disputes before they arise.
Ongoing oversight and accountability
Our work is not simply to act — it is to be accountable for how we act. We operate with clear internal controls and defined processes for decision-making.
We can be of value to you if...
You don't have someone suitable to appoint
You may not have close family, or the people in your life may not feel able to take on the responsibility. Appointing an independent professional ensures that your affairs are handled carefully and consistently.
You value independence and oversight
You may feel more comfortable knowing that decisions are made independently, there are clear safeguards in place, and everything is recorded and can be reviewed.
You are concerned about pressure or conflict
Family dynamics can be complicated. Even with the best intentions, differences of opinion can arise, particularly when money is involved. An independent attorney removes that pressure and provides a neutral, balanced approach.
You have been affected by experiences of misuse
Sometimes this decision is prompted by experience, either your own, or that of someone close to you. You may simply want to ensure that your own affairs are handled differently.
You want to avoid burdening family members
Managing someone else's financial affairs can be demanding. It often involves administrative work, difficult decisions and ongoing responsibility. Some people prefer not to place that burden on those close to them.
You are planning ahead following a diagnosis
If you have received a diagnosis that may affect your ability to make decisions in the future, putting arrangements in place early can provide clarity and reassurance.
This can also work alongside family
Choosing an independent professional does not mean excluding family. Some clients prefer a professional attorney working alongside family members, or a professional acting as a replacement if needed.
Who we are
We founded Wise Hen with a simple belief: that everyone deserves someone careful, competent and independent looking after their interests.
With decades of experience in safeguarding and professional oversight, we saw too many families struggle with decisions they weren't prepared for.
Every decision we make is documented, every pound accounted for.
Our clients come to us because they want things done properly
You don't need to be in crisis. Most of the people we work with are simply planning ahead.

Common questions
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint someone to make decisions about your finances, property or health and welfare if you're ever unable to.
How is Wise Hen different from a solicitor?
A solicitor drafts the legal documents. We provide the ongoing, independent support that comes after.
Does using Wise Hen mean I don't trust my family?
Not at all. Many of our clients involve family members alongside us. Having independent oversight protects everyone.
What does it cost?
Our fees depend on the level of service you need. We'll explain everything during your discovery call — no hidden costs.
When should I set up an LPA?
Now, while you're well and able to make your own decisions. If you wait until you've lost capacity, it's too late.
Is Wise Hen regulated?
Yes. We are fully insured, DBS checked and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.
Let's have a conversation
A discovery call is free, takes around 30 minutes, and there's no obligation. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you decide if we're right for you.
