Before you start…
Just a bit of admin before we begin. Make sure you’ve taken care of the following before you register the lasting power of attorney:
- Read your LPA form and make sure everything is as it should be.
- Make sure sections 1-11 have been signed in the correct order.
- Send form LP3 to any ‘people to notify’ named in your LPA.
- Your ‘people to notify’ will have three weeks to contact the OPG if they have any concerns about the power of attorney.
