What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust (called an attorney) to make decisions on your behalf. This is essential if you ever lose the mental capacity to make decisions yourself.
Why create an LPA now?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity. Creating one now ensures your wishes are respected if you need support later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity or no longer wish to make decisions yourself. There are two types: Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare.
How much does an LPA cost with LPAReady?
LPAReady offers affordable LPA creation - significantly cheaper than solicitors who typically charge £300-£500 per LPA. You can create a single LPA or both types (Property & Financial Affairs AND Health & Welfare) together.
How long does it take to create an LPA?
Using LPAReady, you can complete your LPA forms in about 20 minutes. After that, you'll need to print, sign with witnesses, and register with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), which takes 8-10 weeks.
Do I need a solicitor to create an LPA?
No, you don't need a solicitor to create an LPA. LPAReady generates OPG-compliant forms that are identical to what a solicitor would produce. You can save hundreds of pounds by using our service.
What's the difference between Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs?
A Property & Financial Affairs LPA covers decisions about money, property, and finances. A Health & Welfare LPA covers decisions about medical treatment, care, and daily routine. Most people create both types.
Is LPAReady's LPA legally valid?
Yes. Our forms are fully compliant with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Office of the Public Guardian requirements. The forms we generate are the official LP1F and LP1H forms used throughout England and Wales.
