The types of lasting power of attorney
There are two types available to clients, which cover:
• Property and financial affairs
• Health and welfare
​
Both are registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (the OPG) before the attorney can act. A lasting power of attorney is a legal document which needs to be registered and is accepted by all UK institutions once registered.
​
In the event you ever do lose mental capacity and have not made an LPA, you will not then be able to grant the power under an LPA, and your loved ones will need to apply to the Court of Protection to obtain such powers.
​
The fee to apply for a lasting power of attorney is £450.00
