Registration fee for Lasting Powers of Attorney to increase

The fee to the Office of the Public Guardian for Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) will increase later this year, subject to parliamentary approval.

The Ministry of Justice has confirmed it intends to increase the fee from £82 per LPA application to £92 from 17th November 2025. It has also confirmed the repeat application fee which is currently £41 will increase to £46.

The Ministry of Justice say the increase will “make sure that income from LPA applications better meets the cost of delivering the services provided by OPG.”

Registrations are now targeted for completion within 40 days.
