Lasting Powers of Attorney | £250 per LPA (all inclusive)
When decisions about health, care or finances really matter, you need complete confidence that the right people can step in without delay.
A professionally prepared LPA from Fern Wills & LPAs ensures your chosen attorneys, not the local authority or court, can act quickly if you lose capacity.
Two Types of LPA
- Property & Financial Affairs LPA – authorises your chosen attorneys to manage property, bills and investments.
- Health & Welfare LPA – covers care, daily living and medical decisions if you cannot decide for yourself.
Other Types of Power of Attorney
- Business (Commercial) LPA – £400
- General (Ordinary) Power of Attorney – £200
- Deed of Revocation – £15 each
Our Fees
Fern Wills & LPAs professional fee: £250 per LPA
Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) registration fee: £92 per LPA
The £92 registration fee is set nationally by the Office of the Public Guardian and applies to each LPA filed in England & Wales.
It is paid to the government, not to us, but we manage the whole registration process on your behalf.
Note: Some websites still show an OPG registration fee of £82. That figure became out of date when the Office of the Public Guardian increased the national fee to £92 for all applications received from 17 November 2025 onward.
We always quote the correct, current rate — set by the government and applied to every LPA in England & Wales — so our information remains accurate even if other sites have not yet been updated.
Our £250 professional fee covers everything else — from the first conversation to a fully registered document, with no hidden extras.
What’s included in our standard service
Everything required for a legally robust, fully registered LPA is included:
- Unlimited consultations until your documents are exactly right.
- Full liaison and correspondence with the OPG on your behalf.
- Outbound postage and document handling.
- Professional signing and attestation guidance.
- Support for attorneys, witnesses and certificate-providers.
- Certificate-provider service (included if required).
- Up to four attorneys, four replacement attorneys and four people to notify.
- Guidance for attorneys living abroad (recent clients include Canada, Dubai, Australia and the USA).
- Easy-read guides explaining every step before and after signing.
- Activation guidance and support when the time comes to use the LPA.
- No extra charge for unusual or complex circumstances.
- Multiple preferences and instructions — all included.
For clients who’d like extra personal touches — such as printed copies, in-home witnessing, or detailed Letters of Wishes — see our Enhanced Personal Options.
Why fees vary between providers
Some firms advertise LPAs from £100 – £150 but then charge extra for essentials such as certificate-provider declarations, attorney support or registration with the OPG.
Others include everything by default and charge £400 – £600+ per LPA, whether you need all those features or not.
Some apply tiered discounts — for example, £500 for one LPA but £400 each when four are arranged together. While this recognises small economies of scale, it can leave single clients subsidising couples.
At Fern Wills & LPAs, we keep it simple: one fair fixed price per LPA for everyone. You pay only for the documents you choose, and the same quality and care apply whether you arrange one or four.
