Decisions in hands you trust
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets the people you choose act for you if illness or injury ever takes the choice away. Prepared from a guided interview, reviewed by an SRA-regulated solicitor, £99 per LPA.
Two LPAs. Most people need both.
One protects your health and welfare decisions; the other, your money and property. Each stands on its own.
Health & Welfare

Who decides about your medical care, daily routine and where you live if you cannot decide yourself, including whether your attorneys may make decisions about life-sustaining treatment.

- Life-sustaining treatment decision

A solicitor reviews it
An SRA-regulated solicitor checks your LPA before you sign, so problems are caught before the OPG sees it, not months later as a rejection.

An LPA protects you while you’re alive
A will speaks after death. An LPA speaks for you the moment you can’t, and it can only be made while you still have capacity. Every Willful LPA includes the same care as every will.

- £99 per LPA, no hidden feesPreparation and solicitor review for a flat £99. The OPG charges its own £82 registration fee separately.
Common questions
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA is a legal document that lets someone you trust (your attorney) make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to make them yourself. Without one, your family may face a long, expensive Court of Protection application.
What is the difference between LP1H and LP1F?
LP1H covers health and welfare decisions: medical care, daily routine, where you live. LP1F covers property and financial affairs: bank accounts, bills, selling property. Most people need both; each is £99 with Willful.
Is the OPG registration fee included?
No: the Office of the Public Guardian charges its own £82 registration fee per LPA (reduced or free for some incomes). Our £99 covers preparation and solicitor review.
Can I make an LPA if I already have a will?
Yes: they do different jobs. Your will takes effect after death; an LPA protects you while you are alive. Many Willful customers set up both together.
