Changes to lasting power of attorney fees: 2025
An update on the upcoming increase to lasting power of attorney fees.
Subject to parliamentary approval, the Ministry of Justice will increase the lasting power of attorney (LPA) application fee later this year.
The fee will increase from £82 per LPA application to £92. The new fee will be payable for LPA applications received by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) from 17 November 2025.
The new fee will make sure that income from LPA applications better meets the cost of delivering the services provided by OPG.
LPA applicants may be entitled to an exemption (no fee) or remission (fee reduction) based on their financial circumstances. More information on the scheme can be found here.
Fees are reviewed in line with His Majesty’s Treasury guidance Managing Public Money.
