A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you can’t.

There are two types:

• Property and Financial Affairs LPA - for managing finances and property.
• Health and Welfare LPA - for decisions about medical care and daily routines.

There are 4 key parts to a successful LPA application:

• Decide which LPA you want - you can apply for the financial LPA, health LPA or both (as separate applications).
• Choosing your attorneys - decide who you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
• Defining their powers - decide what decisions they can make and when.
• Setting preferences and instructions - include any preferences (what you’d like) or instructions (what they must do).
• Appointing a certificate provider - normally a professional who confirms you understand your LPA and aren’t being pressured.

More than 50,000 LPA applications are rejected each year due to mistakes.

If there’s an error, the OPG will return your application, making you re-apply and pay another fee.

Here are the most common mistakes:

• Not signing in pen. You have to print out and sign in black/blue pen.
• Choosing the wrong witnesses. Attorneys can’t witness your signature. It has to be someone not otherwise mentioned in your application.
• Signing in the wrong order. The donor signs the relevant sections first, then the certificate provider, then the attorneys.
• Using the wrong form. Use LP1F for financial decisions, LP1H for health decisions, LP120 for fee exemption and L3 to notify people.
• Making conflicting instructions. Instructions cannot contradict each other or other sections of the application.

Absolutely, you can fill out all the forms yourself.

But the process of doing everything correctly is complicated.

And mistakes can lead to rejection.

We've done hundreds of these applications and know exactly how to get them right.
