A lasting power of attorney ensures that, if you cannot make decisions yourself, someone you trust can, legally and without delay.

A power of attorney gives another person the legal right to act on your behalf in reference to your finances, health, or both. In the UK, there are two main types: lasting power of attorney for ongoing decisions, and ordinary power of attorney for short-term needs. We guide you on how to set it up, connect you with the right government resources, and help you stay organised every step of the way.
We walk you through the process of setting up your Power of Attorney UK, explaining what each part means and helping you decide which type suits your situation best.
We show you exactly where to find the official forms, what details you will need, and how to fill them out accurately before submitting them to the Office of the Public Guardian.
We connect you directly to verified government or professional services that can oversee registration or certification. You stay in full control, and everything stays 100% official.
We will remind you about key dates, renewal options, and updates because once your lasting power of attorney is active, it is important to keep it current while your life changes.
Without a power of attorney, no one can legally manage your bank accounts, pay bills, or make medical decisions if you lose your capacity to do so. Even your spouse or child can be blocked from acting on your behalf.
You will need: Photo ID, proof of address, contact details for your attorneys and certificate provider, and witness signatures. Typical OPG registration takes around 8–10 weeks.

Do not wait until it is too late to decide who can act for you. Set up your lasting power of attorney in the UK simply and securely.
