Increase in Fee to Register an LPA
The Government has announced that the court fee for registering a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) will rise from £82 to £92 for any applications submitted from 17th November.
An LPA can not be used until it has been registered by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). Typically, it will take OPG around 12 weeks to process the registration. Therefore, we would always recommend that somebody registers their LPA as soon as it has been signed.
If you have an unregistered LPA and are considering registration, we recommend doing so now to take advantage of the current fee.
