Office of the Public Guardian Registrations.
What is the Office of the Public Guardian?
Intended to help people in England and Wales stay in control of decisions about their health and finances.
A Lasting Power of Attorney cannot be used until it has been officially registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. This process can be both time consuming and complex, and if completed incorrectly will delay someone becoming an Attorney for a loved one.
​
The Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) was formed to help people in England and Wales stay in control of decisions about their health and finances, by registering their choice of legal Attorneys or by making important decisions for others who do not have the capacity.
Why register Lasting Powers of Attorney professionally?
It is advisable not only to have Lasting Powers of Attorney registered professionally, but also to have them prepared by professionals as well.
It is advisable not only to have Lasting Powers of Attorney registered professionally, but also to have them prepared by professionals as well. While the Government make both these processes available free of charge via the internet they do not offer any advice for users.
​
This can lead to documents not completed in the best interests of the individual involved, and delays and rejections during registration. Our team of professionals submit hundreds of Lasting Powers of Attorney for registration for our clients every year. With a detailed knowledge of the process, we achieve quicker registrations with far fewer rejections.
