About this service
A property and financial affairs lasting power of attorney lets people you choose, your attorneys, deal with your money and property: bank accounts, bills, pension, benefits and, if it comes to it, selling your home. It is made on the official form LP1F and has to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before anyone can use it.
This service fills that form in for you. You type the names, addresses and dates of birth of the people involved and make three choices: how your attorneys act together, when they can start, and anything you want them to follow. Software places your answers in the right boxes of the official form and shows you a watermarked draft. When you approve it, you download the finished form.
The work is done by software, not by a person. Nobody at WillSafe reads your answers, and no solicitor reviews your form. What you get for the price is a correctly laid out official form with consistent names throughout, sections 12 and 13 completed, and a signing pack written around your own people so the signatures happen in the order the form requires.
GOV.UK has a free online service that also completes the form, and you can download a blank LP1F and write on it for nothing. This service suits people who want the form finished in one sitting with a signing order that names each person. Either way the OPG charges £92 to register the LPA.
This may not be right for you if…
- •Anyone who has already lost mental capacity: an LPA can no longer be made and a deputyship application is needed
- •More than four attorneys, more than two replacements, or attorneys who act jointly for some decisions only (these need continuation sheets this service does not produce)
- •A donor who cannot sign for themselves, or who wants to name people to notify on the form
- •Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have their own forms and rules
In these cases, we recommend speaking to a solicitor.

Your questions answered
What is a property and financial affairs LPA?
It is a legal document, made on form LP1F, that lets attorneys you choose make decisions about your money and property. That covers bank accounts, bills, benefits, pensions and selling a home. It applies in England and Wales and can only be used after the Office of the Public Guardian has registered it.
How much does it cost in total?
WillSafe charges £89 to complete the form. The Office of the Public Guardian then charges £92 to register it, which you pay to the OPG, so the usual total is £181. The OPG fee is halved if your gross income is under £12,000 a year, and some people on means-tested benefits pay nothing.
Does a person or a solicitor check my form?
No. The form is completed by software from the answers you type, and nobody at WillSafe reads them. The software checks that the required details are present, not whether your choices are wise. You see a watermarked draft and approve it yourself. WillSafe is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
When can my attorneys start using it?
You choose. On form LP1F you can let attorneys act as soon as the LPA is registered, with your permission while you still have capacity, or only once you have lost mental capacity. The questions ask which you want and the form is completed to match. Either way the LPA must be registered first.
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 form. That wait is the main reason to make an LPA well before it is needed.
Who has to sign, and in what order?
You sign first, in front of a witness. Your certificate provider signs next, then each attorney and replacement attorney, each in front of a witness. Last, you sign section 15, the application to register. The dates must run in that order. Your pack lists the order using the names you gave.
Can I do this free on GOV.UK instead?
Yes. GOV.UK has a free online service that fills in the same form, and blank forms are free to download. You still print, sign and post, and still pay the OPG £92. People pay WillSafe for a shorter set of questions and a signing pack written around their own attorneys and witnesses.
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.
