Paying the fee
Could you pay less than the full amount?
GOV.UK currently lists the registration fee as £92 for each LPA, but some people can apply to pay less or nothing.
Prefer guided help?
Would you like help preparing your LPA forms?
Which? Power of Attorney is a paid external service from Which? Ltd. It offers guided document preparation, access to specialists and a specialist review. You still print, sign and submit the documents, and the Office of the Public Guardian registration fee is separate.
Prefer to do it yourself? You can complete the forms through GOV.UK without paying a preparation-service fee. The official registration fee may still apply whichever route you use.
Whose finances are assessed?
Help with the fee is based on the donor's finances, even if an attorney or solicitor sends the application. The donor may qualify for a 50% reduction if their gross annual income is less than £12,000, or an exemption if they receive certain means-tested benefits. Evidence is required.
Making two LPAs?
Each type is a separate registration. Check how the reduction or exemption applies to each application.
Using a provider or solicitor?
A provider or solicitor may charge for preparing the forms. Those service costs are separate from the official registration fee.
Guided paid option
Would you like help preparing your LPA?
Fee reductions and exemptions apply to the official registration fee, not the Which? preparation-service price. Check the total cost before deciding.
