This guide will help you complete the LPA forms and avoid making common mistakes.
In this guide you means the donor.
Its important that the LPA forms are filled out correctly. The attorneys you have appointed may not be able to make important decisions for you if there is an error in the LPA.
If you make an error on your LPA, it could mean:
- a delay in the registration process
- your LPA is not legally valid
- the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) cannot register the LPA at all
Sometimes the application process can seem complicated. This guidance explains how to avoid the most common errors.
To further help you reduce the chance of making errors, you can use OPGs Make a lasting power of attorney online service at www.lastingpowerofattorney.service.gov.uk. It also helps guide you through the process. This service is only available in English.
