Costs explained clearly

How much does a lasting power of attorney cost?

The total cost depends on how you choose to prepare your documents and how many lasting powers of attorney you register. Honour LPA keeps its own service price separate from the government registration fee, so you can see what you are paying for.

Honour LPA service fee and the government fee are different

Our service starts from £79. That covers the Honour LPA online journey and preparation of the selected official forms from the information you provide.

The Office of the Public Guardian registration fee is separate. It is paid when the lasting power of attorney is sent for registration, not to Honour LPA.

The current Office of the Public Guardian registration fee

The current application fee is £92 for each lasting power of attorney registered. Health and welfare and property and financial affairs are separate documents, so registering both types means two registration applications and two government fees.

Government fees can change, so it is sensible to check the latest Office of the Public Guardian guidance before registration.

Example: if one person makes both types, the Office of the Public Guardian normally treats them as two separate £92 registration applications.

Can the registration fee be reduced?

Current government guidance says a donor whose income before tax is less than £12,000 a year may qualify for a 50% remission. A donor receiving certain means-tested benefits may qualify for an exemption.

Eligibility rules matter and evidence may be required. The reduced-fee application is made under the Office of the Public Guardian rules, not decided by Honour LPA.

Why a fixed online service can make budgeting easier

A clear service price lets you know the cost of preparing your documents before you place your order. You can start the Honour LPA questionnaire without paying, save your progress and review your information before deciding whether to complete the order.

If your circumstances are complex or you need individual legal advice, a solicitor or another appropriately qualified professional may still be the right option.

Common questions

No. Honour LPA's service charge and the Office of the Public Guardian registration fee are separate.

Do I pay £92 if I make both types?

The Office of the Public Guardian charges per lasting power of attorney. Health and welfare and property and financial affairs are separate registrations.

Can everyone get a fee reduction?

No. Reductions and exemptions depend on the donor meeting the current government eligibility rules.
