Making and Registering a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) During the Coronavirus Outbreak

If you want to make an LPA now, you can still do so while observing government guidance on social distancing, self-isolating and shielding.

Making a LPA is an important decision that you should think about carefully. An LPA needs to be signed and witnessed by several people.

Once the LPA has been signed, you need to send it to the Government for registration. It may then be around 8 weeks before you get the registered LPA back and can start using it. This includes a 4-week waiting period required by law.
