Lasting power of attorney · England & Wales
Free lasting power of attorney documents, checked by a person before you sign.
You answer the questions online. We generate the official Office of the Public Guardian forms. Then a qualified estate planner rings you and goes through every answer before anything is signed.
The government’s own service is free too. It does not ring you and check it. That call is the difference.
Free to make. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each LPA. That fee goes to the government, not to us. You may not have to pay it — some people qualify for a reduction or an exemption.
What you don’t pay

saved by the average customer
You do the answering. We do the paperwork. Nobody bills you for it.
A high-street solicitor charges between £300 and £650 to prepare a single LPA — for the same official Office of the Public Guardian form we generate for you free, and a qualified estate planner still checks every answer with you before you sign.
The £92 the Office of the Public Guardian charges to register each LPA is payable whichever route you take — it goes to the government, not to us, and some people pay half or nothing at all.

The check call
The government’s service doesn’t ring you. Ours does.
Most rejected LPAs are turned down for small, avoidable mistakes: a signature in the wrong order, a date missing, an attorney named in a way the OPG won’t accept. The call is where those get caught.
What the call catches
- Signing in the wrong order, or on the wrong page
- A date left blank, or dated before the page it follows
- An attorney named in a form the OPG won’t accept
- A certificate provider who isn’t allowed to act

Plain-English steps, autosaved as you go, so you can stop and pick it up later.

We generate your forms
The official OPG documents, filled in from your answers. Nothing you have to decode.

An estate planner calls
They go through every answer with you and tell you who signs, and in what order.
- 04
You sign and register
Sign in the right order, then send it to the OPG to register. That is the £92 government fee.
For couples
A couple making both types gets four documents. All free to make.
Two people, two kinds of LPA each — property and financial affairs, and health and welfare. That is four lasting powers of attorney, and it costs nothing to make any of them. No one else does that.
Registering all four with the OPG is £368 in government fees (£92 each), unless you qualify for a reduction.

Government fee
Paid to the Office of the Public Guardian. Reductions and exemptions apply on lower incomes and some benefits.
You might not need a certificate provider from us at all.
If you have a friend or neighbour who has known you for at least two years, and who isn’t family and isn’t one of your attorneys, they can be your certificate provider for nothing. If that’s you, use them. We’ll only step in if there’s genuinely no one.
The three ways to make an LPA
All of them produce the same official document. What differs is the cost, and whether anyone checks your answers.
| myLPA | GOV.UK | High-street solicitor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to make it | Free | Free | £300–£650 per LPA, typically |
| OPG registration fee | £92 per LPA (since 17 Nov 2025) | £92 per LPA | £92 per LPA |
| A person checks your answers | Yes — a phone call | No | Yes |
| Documents produced | Official LP1F and LP1H forms, plus the LPA120 if you claim a fee reduction | Official LP1F and LP1H forms | The same official forms |
| Registration time | 8–10 weeks (GOV.UK figure, error-free applications) | 8–10 weeks | 8–10 weeks |
| If the OPG rejects it | We fix it and cover the £92 to register again | You sort it out | Depends on the firm |
| Where you do it | Online, at home | Online, at home | In person, by appointment |
Solicitor fees are typical market ranges, not a quote. The £92 registration fee is set by the government and is the same whichever route you take.
What we stand behind, plainly
We won’t tell you an outcome is guaranteed, because the Office of the Public Guardian decides that, not us. Here is what we can promise:
If the OPG rejects an LPA for something we checked, we correct it and cover the £92 to register it again.
- We are not a firm of solicitors
- We don’t give legal advice. If your situation needs a solicitor, we’ll say so.
- England and Wales only
- Scotland and Northern Ireland have different systems and different forms.
- Who makes the check calls
- Estate planners in an accredited network. They pay us a fee when you buy a service. It costs you no more, and you’re never obliged to buy anything.
Questions people ask
Is it really free, or is there a catch?
Making the LPA and the check call are free, and we email you the finished documents so you can print them at home for nothing. The £92 to register each LPA is a government fee and goes to the Office of the Public Guardian, not to us. What we charge for is optional: £99 to print, post and check one person’s LPAs, £169 for a couple’s four documents, and £49 for a will.
What is the £92 for?
It’s the fee the Office of the Public Guardian charges to register a lasting power of attorney, so it becomes legally usable. It’s £92 per document. If you’re on a low income or certain benefits you may pay half, or nothing.
Do I need a certificate provider from you?
Often not. A friend or neighbour who has known you two years or more, and who isn’t family or one of your attorneys, can do it for free. We can arrange a certificate provider if you genuinely have no one, and we’ll explain how on your call.
What happens if the OPG rejects it?
If it’s rejected for something we checked, we correct it and cover the £92 to register it again. We won’t tell you it can never be rejected, because that decision is the OPG’s, not ours.
Who calls me, and are they a solicitor?
A qualified estate planner from an accredited network. They’re not a solicitor and we’re not a firm of solicitors. The call checks your answers against how the OPG reads the forms. If your situation needs legal advice, they’ll tell you.
Do you cover Scotland or Northern Ireland?
No. myLPA is for England and Wales only. Scotland and Northern Ireland use different documents and a different registering body.
Start your LPA. It’s free to make, and someone checks it.
You can stop at any step and come back later. Registering with the OPG costs £92 per LPA, paid to the government.
