Details
You can apply to pay less to register a lasting power of attorney (LPA) or an enduring power of attorney (EPA).
Use this form if you need help with the:
- £82 application fee to register an LPA or EPA
- £41 repeat application fee to register an LPA or EPA
If the person who made the LPA or EPA (the ‘donor’) receives certain means-tested benefits when you apply to register it, you won’t have to pay anything – this is called an ‘exemption’.
The benefits are listed in the form above.
If the donor’s income before tax is less than £12,000 a year, you’ll only have to pay half – this is known as a ‘50% remission’.
The form also explains how and when to pay the fees.
