Lasting Power of Attorney

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more people to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.

This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions.

There are 2 types of LPA:

health and welfare
property and financial affairs

You can choose to make one type or both.

Applying to register an LPA costs £82 unless you get a reduction or exemption. From 17 November 2025, it will cost £92.

Keeping your LPA up to date is crucial to ensuring that a trusted individual can make decisions on your behalf when you are unable to. If you need guidance on who to speak with to get yours in place or reviewed, please let us know.
