Pricing

Fixed fee. No hidden costs.

Choose the LPA you need or get both for complete peace of mind. All prices shown are our service fee. A separate government registration fee of £92 per LPA is payable directly to the Office of the Public Guardian.

About the government registration fee: All LPAs in England and Wales must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before they can be used. The OPG charges a mandatory registration fee of £92 per LPA, payable directly to them — this is separate from our service fee. Total cost: £167 for one LPA (our £75 + £92 OPG) or £334 for both (our £150 + £184 OPG). We guide you through the registration process as part of our service.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust, your “attorney”, to make decisions on your behalf if you ever lose the mental capacity to make them yourself.

There are two types of LPA. One covers your Property and Financial Affairs, your money, property, bills and investments. The other covers your Health and Welfare, your medical treatment, care arrangements and daily wellbeing. You can set up one or both.

Most people choose both, because losing mental capacity can affect every area of your life simultaneously. Having both LPAs in place means your attorney can step in immediately and handle whatever is needed.

People in the UK are living with dementia. It can affect anyone and an LPA must be in place before mental capacity is lost.

Weeks is how long the Office of the Public Guardian currently takes to register an LPA. It cannot be used until registration is complete.

Pounds is the typical cost of applying to the Court of Protection for a deputyship order, the only alternative if you have no LPA in place.
