FAQS
What is an Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone you trust (your ‘attorney’) to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so yourself.
Why would I need an LPA?
An LPA ensures your wishes are respected and important decisions are made by someone you trust if you're ever unable to make them yourself due to illness, injury, or age.
Who are the Office of the Public Guardian
The OPG is a government body that oversees LPAs and ensures attorneys act in your best interests.
What's a Deputyship Order?
A deputyship order is a legal document issued by the Court of Protection in England and Wales. It gives one or more people (called deputies) the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to make those decisions themselves.
Is an LPA only for older people?
No. Anyone over the age of 18 can make an LPA. It’s about planning ahead—accidents or illness can happen at any age.
What's the difference between the two LPAs?
There are two types:
Health and Welfare LPA – covers decisions about medical treatment, care, and living arrangements.
Property and Financial Affairs LPA – covers decisions about money, bills, property, and bank accounts.
Do I need both LPAs?
That depends on your situation, but many people choose to have both to ensure all areas of their life are covered.
How do I create an LPA?
You’ll need to complete the official forms, have them signed and witnessed correctly, and then register them with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
Do LPAs need to be registered?
Yes, they must be registered with the OPG before they can be used. This applies to both types of LPA.
How long do LPAs take to register?
Registration usually takes around 8 to 10 weeks, depending on the OPG’s workload.
How much does it cost to register an LPA?
It costs £82 per LPA to register in England and Wales. Some people may qualify for a fee reduction or exemption.
