About this service
There is no such thing as a joint lasting power of attorney. Each person makes their own, so a couple who both want their money and their care covered need four documents: a property and financial affairs LPA (form LP1F) and a health and welfare LPA (form LP1H) for each of them.
This service completes all four from one sitting. You answer the questions for the first person, then for the second. Two buttons save typing: one makes your partner your attorney, the other copies your partner's attorneys and replacements into your own list. The copy never adds you to your own list, because nobody can be their own attorney.
Everything else stays separate. Each of you makes your own choices about when attorneys can act and about life-sustaining treatment, gives your own preferences and instructions, and names your own certificate provider. Your partner cannot be your certificate provider, because a family member is not allowed to be.
You see watermarked drafts of all four forms before anything is final, then each of you gets your own finished forms and your own signing pack. The work is done by software: no person at WillSafe reads your answers and no solicitor reviews the forms. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each LPA, so its fees for four come to £368, paid to the OPG.
This may not be right for you if…
- •A couple where either person has already lost mental capacity: that person can no longer make an LPA
- •Anyone looking for a joint LPA: there is no such document, each person makes their own
- •More than four attorneys or two replacements each, or attorneys who act jointly for some decisions only
- •Couples who would rather keep their answers private from each other: buy two separate orders instead
- •Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have their own forms and rules
In these cases, we recommend speaking to a solicitor.

Your questions answered
Can a couple make a joint lasting power of attorney?
No. An LPA belongs to one person, called the donor. A couple each make their own, even if they appoint each other and choose the same replacement attorneys. For both money and health decisions that means four forms between two people. This service completes all four from one set of questions.
How much does it cost a couple in total?
WillSafe charges £249 to complete all four forms. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each LPA, so £368 for four, paid to the OPG. The usual total is £617. Each OPG fee is halved if that person's gross income is under £12,000 a year.
Can we appoint each other as attorneys?
Yes, and most couples do. It is sensible to name at least one replacement attorney as well, such as an adult child or a trusted friend, because if your partner can no longer act and nobody else is named, your LPA stops working. One button adds your partner; another copies their attorneys into your list.
Can my partner be my certificate provider or witness?
Your partner cannot be your certificate provider, because members of your family and your attorneys are not allowed to be. If your partner is one of your attorneys, they cannot witness your signature either. One friend or professional can be certificate provider for both of you if they qualify for each of you.
Do we have to make the same choices?
No. Each person chooses separately when their attorneys can act under the financial LPA and who decides about life-sustaining treatment under the health LPA. Preferences, instructions and certificate providers are never copied from one person to the other. Each person's forms are built only from their own answers.
Does a person or a solicitor check our forms?
No. Software completes the four forms from the answers you type, and nobody at WillSafe reads them. It checks that required details are present and that neither of you is listed as your own attorney, not whether your choices suit you. You approve the watermarked drafts yourselves. WillSafe is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
How long does registration take?
GOV.UK says it takes 8 to 10 weeks to register an LPA if there are no mistakes in the application, and elsewhere says it can take up to 16 weeks. Allow 8 to 16 weeks from the day the OPG receives your signed forms. All four can go in one envelope, and each is registered separately.
What happens if the OPG sends my form back?
The questions cannot be submitted until every required detail is in, and the form is completed exactly from what you typed, so check the draft with care. If the OPG finds a mistake, it may let you correct it and apply again within 3 months for £46, which you pay to the OPG. Mistakes in the details you entered or in the signing are your responsibility. Your statutory rights are not affected.
