Important Update: LPA Registration Fees Are Increasing
Planning for the future might not feel urgent, but it’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and those you care about. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) gives you control over who will make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so.
What’s Changing?
From 17 November 2025, the fee to register each LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) will increase from £82 to £92.
If you’re registering both types of LPA:
Property & Financial Affairs – for managing money, bills, and property
Health & Welfare – for decisions about healthcare and daily care
the total cost will rise from £164 to £184.
Reductions and exemptions are still available for those on low incomes or certain benefits, but for most people this £10 increase per document will apply. The Government says the change reflects the true cost of running the OPG’s service.
