Create a lasting power
of attorney online.

A lasting power of attorney grants decision-making power to a trusted individual on your behalf. With VitaWill, you can create a power of attorney in under an hour and our online service provides guidance through every step of the UK's lasting power of attorney forms. Our team is always available if you need advice. We offer two types of power of attorney:

• A health and welfare power of attorney, which allows someone you trust to make decisions about medical treatments and your daily routine.
• A property and financial affairs power of attorney, which allows them to manage your money and property for you.

The answer to this question depends on the type of LPA that you have registered.

• A lasting power of attorney for health can only be used when you are unable to make decisions for yourself. This is typically when you have been in an accident or developed a condition that affects your mental state.
• On the other hand, if you have a lasting power of attorney for financial decisions, you have the choice to determine when it comes into effect. Some people prefer to have it activated right away, so that the person they trust can handle tasks such as running errands or signing paperwork on their behalf.

When it comes to the cost of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in the UK, there are several factors to consider. A typical LPA solicitor may charge between £200 and £400, which can be quite expensive for some people.

However, here at VitaWill, we offer a much more affordable option. We charge just £59 for each type of power of attorney, which means that if you want both types, you'll only pay £118.

It's worth noting that no matter where you obtain your LPA from in the UK, you'll still have to pay the government's registration fee. This fee is currently set at £82 per form, but if you're on a low income or certain benefits, you may be exempt from paying the fee

Yes, you can apply for a lasting power of attorney online by yourself, but it can be a daunting task, and mistakes may render your LPA unusable.

VitaWill's online service offers support in writing your LPA and is an affordable, no-hassle alternative to traditional power of attorney solicitors. With us, you don't need to visit an office or make phone calls to benefit from our service. As an online service, we don't charge as much as traditional solicitors typically do, but you still get as much support as you need to create your LPA.
