Our online LPA service takes just 15 minutes to complete. Once submitted, the Office of the Public Guardian typically takes 8-10 weeks to register your LPA. Croydon residents can start their application online anytime, day or night.
Do I need a solicitor for an LPA in Croydon?
No, you don't need a solicitor to create a Lasting Power of Attorney in Croydon or anywhere in England and Wales. Our online service guides you through the entire process, and our documents are fully compliant with Office of the Public Guardian requirements. You'll need a witness to sign, but this can be any independent adult.

What happens if I don't have an LPA in Croydon?
If you lose mental capacity without an LPA, your family will need to apply to the Court of Protection for deputyship. That route typically costs thousands of pounds, can take months, and the court decides who manages your affairs — not you. Making an LPA now keeps that decision yours.
