This online service will help you to create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) for England and Wales.
It has step-by-step guidance to making an LPA, which will help you answer each question as you go through the service. We’ll use your answers to create an LPA that you can save and print, sign and send to the Office of the Public Guardian for registration.
We’ll save your LPA as you progress so you do not need to complete it in one go.
To start your LPA you first need to set up an online account. You can use your account to make multiple LPAs for yourself and others.

Sign inIt is free to complete your LPA online, however your LPA cannot be used until it's registered. There's a £82 application fee to register each LPA. If the donor has an income below £12,000, or gets certain benefits, they might qualify for a lower fee, or the fee might be waived altogether. If you're eligible for a reduction the completed form for this will be given to you at the end of this service. You can pay your application fee by card online or send a cheque with your LPA to OPG.
You will not be asked for the name of witnesses, you can fill those in on the printed form when they sign.
For an LPA to be valid it needs to be signed and witnessed by all people mentioned on the LPA. The online tool makes it simpler to do the first part, the filling in of the form. You can take your time and can read extra help if you need it. A printed, signed LPA has to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used.
