What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. It gives you control over who manages your affairs and ensures your wishes are respected.
Types of LPA
- Health & Welfare.
- Property & Financial Affairs.
Health & Welfare LPA
A Health & Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney allows your chosen attorney to make decisions about your medical treatment, daily care, and overall wellbeing if you become unable to decide for yourself.
This includes choices about:
- Where you live.
- The care you receive.
- Even life-sustaining treatment.
- Ensuring your personal wishes are always respected.
Property & Finance LPA
A Property & Finance Lasting Power of Attorney gives your attorney the authority to handle your financial matters. This may include:
- Managing bank accounts.
- Paying bills.
- Collecting benefits.
- Selling property when required.
- It ensures your money and assets are protected and managed responsibly according to your instructions.
Registering Your Documents
Once your Lasting Power of Attorney is prepared, it must be signed by you, your chosen attorneys and witnesses in the correct order. This step is essential to confirm that everyone understands their role and agrees to act responsibly. A certificate provider will also sign to confirm that you are aware of what the LPA means and that you are making it voluntarily. Following these steps carefully ensures your document is legally valid and ready for registration.
Signing your Lasting Power of Attorney
After signing, your Lasting Power of Attorney must be sent to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) for registration. This process can take several weeks, so it’s important to submit everything correctly to avoid delays. Once approved, your LPA becomes a legally recognised document, giving your chosen attorneys the authority to act on your behalf when needed. Appropriate registration safeguards your intentions and empowers your loved ones to manage your affairs with assurance and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Creating an LPA ensures your financial, health, and welfare matters are managed by someone you choose — not by the courts. It provides peace of mind and legal protection for both you and your family.
You can appoint anyone over the age of 18 who you trust such as a family member, close friend, or professional adviser as long as they have the mental capacity to make decisions and are willing to take on the role.
There are two types:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPA: For managing money, property, and assets.
- Health and Welfare LPA: For decisions about healthcare, living arrangements, and medical treatment.
You can choose one or both types, depending on your needs.
A Property and Financial Affairs LPA can be used once it’s registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), if you choose.
A Health and Welfare LPA can only be used once you lose mental capacity.
Yes. You can appoint multiple attorneys to act jointly, jointly and severally, or a mix of both — giving flexibility in how decisions are made.
If you lose capacity without an LPA in place, your family or friends will need to apply to the Court of Protection to become a deputy — a slower and more expensive process.
On average, it takes between 8 to 12 weeks for the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to process and register an LPA, though times may vary.
Having a professional ensures the document is drafted correctly, legally valid and reflects your exact wishes avoiding costly mistakes and delays.
