£49 Lasting Power of Attorney online

£49 per LPA, £79 for both. That is one payment, made only after you have reviewed the finished document on screen. The Office of the Public Guardian's £92 registration fee is separate and is paid to them, not to us. Here is exactly what the £49 does and does not cover.

How the price compares to piecing it together yourself

Buying a blank template for £20-£30, then paying a professional certificate provider £50-£150 because you are unsure who else qualifies, can end up costing more than our £49 and still leave you checking the form yourself. The £49 fee bundles the guidance and the checking into one price rather than charging for each piece separately.

Signing order is the same at any price

Paying £49 does not change the legal requirement for the donor, certificate provider and attorneys to sign in a fixed order, each witnessed. What it buys is a personalised guide telling you exactly who signs which page and in what sequence, reducing the chance of the single most common reason applications are returned by the OPG.

A worked example

Nigel pays £49 for his LP1F. His finished document names his wife as attorney and his daughter as replacement. The signing guide tells him his wife signs first as donor is himself — wait, in his case he is the donor. He signs first, his neighbour signs as certificate provider next, then his wife and daughter sign as attorneys. He posts the original with £92 to the OPG. Total spent: £141, with the £49 covering everything except the government's own fee.

Common questions

Do I pay £49 upfront or after I finish?

You review the complete finished document on screen first, and pay only once you are satisfied it is correct.

Is there a refund if I decide not to proceed after paying?

Contact us directly to discuss your situation; since you review the document before paying, most issues are resolved before payment is needed.

Does £49 cover updates if I need to change an attorney later?

No — a change of attorney requires a new LPA and a new £92 registration fee, since it is legally a fresh document.

Is £49 a one-off payment or a subscription?

One-off. There is no subscription, and no further charge unless you later want a new or different LPA prepared.

What payment methods are accepted?

Standard card payment is accepted at checkout once you have reviewed your finished document.
