Power of Attorney

What is power of attorney?

Lasting Power of Attorney is when you grant someone else the ability to make decisions on your behalf, should it become necessary.

Having someone appointed who knows what you want regarding your care in hospital, your living situation or even to ensure payments are sorted so you do not get into debt whilst unwell, is something that can put your mind at ease.

Frequently asked questions

Usually even if you want to make small changes, you will have to cancel your old Power of Attorney and register a new one. Once your Power of Attorney is submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian, it is official.

If you are registering your LPA forms yourself without legal advice, it costs £82 to submit each form, if you do both a financial Power of Attorney and a health and welfare Power of Attorney, it will cost £164 to register. However, if your situation is more complex, the costs will be more. There are often fixed rate fees, especially if you are making your LPA with a spouse.

You can easily find a legal expert on The Law Superstore to help you make your Lasting Power of Attorney, whether that’s for health, finances or both. If you believe your needs to be quite simple, you can do your Power of Attorney yourself by downloading the forms from the gov.uk website. Otherwise, a solicitor can support you in choosing attorneys.

You will choose your attorneys who can act on your behalf, and you'll also outline how you'd like them to make decisions for you. You can also assign back up attorneys and people to be informed of the situation. When filling out a healthcare LPA you will need to put your preferences about things like life-sustaining treatment and how much authority your attorneys have to make those decisions for

If you are concerned that Power of Attorney was set up when the person was not of sound mind, or that the attorney is not acting in their best interests, you can speak to a lawyer. It is quite difficult to override Power of Attorney unless it's clear the attorney is not acting in the way expected of them.
