Your Lasting Power of Attorney questions
We know this can feel complicated. We've answered the questions people ask us most, in plain English, to help you get started with confidence.
Read our full LPA guideIt's a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you're ever unable to make them yourself, covering either your finances or your health and care.
Think of it as your just-in-case plan. If you ever need it, it lets your trusted person step in smoothly, avoiding potential stress and costly court proceedings (Deputyship) for your family. It's all about making sure your wishes are followed, no fuss involved.
Absolutely. You can create a lasting power of attorney online without a solicitor. Our guided form walks you through the whole process in plain English. Most people finish in about 7 minutes. Your completed LPA is just as legally valid as one drawn up by a solicitor, as long as it's signed, witnessed, and registered with the OPG.
The simple answer is: now. An LPA can only be made while you have the mental capacity to do so. It's best to get it sorted early, so it's ready and waiting for the future, just in case.
With SimpleLPA, creating your LPA online costs just £49, a fraction of the £500+ a solicitor typically charges. On top of that, there's a mandatory £92 OPG registration fee per document. You get the same legally binding result, plus the flexibility to do it from home in your own time. Read our full LPA cost breakdown →

You've done the hard part. The last step is registering your LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian, and we'll guide you through it.
£92government fee, paid to the OPG
~20weeks for the OPG to process
Register as soon as it's signed. Because of that ~20-week wait, registering early means your LPA is ready the moment it's needed — not during a crisis.

LPA vs. Court Deputyship
Without a registered LPA, your bank accounts can be frozen and doctors may decide your care without your family's input. Applying for Deputyship instead is far slower, costlier and more stressful.

a quick note from us
SimpleLPA is a legal technology provider, not a law firm. We help you create your own documents and don’t provide legal advice. Every LPA is built to the rules for England & Wales, and we catch the slips that lead to OPG rejections, though it is only legally valid once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. For anything complex, we’d always recommend speaking to a solicitor first.
