What is a lasting power of attorney (LPA)?
A lasting power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more people to make decisions on your behalf during your lifetime. The people you appoint to manage your affairs are called the attorneys. A lasting power of attorney is a completely separate legal document to your will although many people put them in place at the same time as getting their will written, as part of planning for the future.

There are two types of LPA.
A health and welfare LPA lets your attorney make decisions about your medical treatment and day-to-day care. This can include where you live, what you eat, what medical treatment you receive and who you see.
A property and finance LPA lets your attorney handle (and make decisions about) your money and property. This can include paying your bills, selling your property, collecting your pension and collecting your benefits.
How much does a lasting power of attorney cost?
A lasting power of attorney costs from £199 including VAT. Mirror lasting powers of attorney start from £398 for two people.

How do I apply for a remission or exemption?
Answer:
A remission or exemption is where you’re able to make an LPA for half the price, or free of charge. You’re able to apply for a remission or exemption if you earn less than £12,000 per year or are on means-tested benefits. You’ll need to apply at the same time as sending in your LPA application.
