Create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) online for England and Wales with step-by-step guidance.
This official GOV.UK service helps you prepare your LPA easily and securely. The online tool guides you through each question, saving your progress as you go, so you can complete your LPA at your own pace. Once finished, you can save, print, sign, and send your LPA to the Office of the Public Guardian for registration.
- Free to complete online – there is no charge to use the service.
- Registration fee: £92 per LPA. If the donor has an income below £12,000 or receives certain benefits, they may qualify for a reduced fee or exemption. Eligibility for fee reduction is assessed at the end of the process.
- Easy account setup – create an account to start, and you can make multiple LPAs for yourself or others.
- What you’ll need: names, addresses, and dates of birth for the donor, attorneys, replacement attorneys, certificate provider, and people to notify.
- Signatures and witnesses: The LPA must be printed, signed, and witnessed before registration.
Support is available if you have questions about the online service or completing your LPA. You can contact the Office of the Public Guardian by phone or email.
Start your LPA today and ensure your wishes are protected.
