Our prices for drafting a lasting power of attorney for you also include our ‘no hidden costs’ promise. This means the price you see quoted is the price you pay. Other firms often exclude or charge separately for additional services when drafting a lasting power of attorney such as assessing capacity and home visits meaning you could end up paying much more than the initial quote appears. Our fixed fees include all work and, if necessary, a home visit in the Merseyside, and Cheshire regions.
Our fixed fees for drafting a lasting power of attorney are as follows:
- £400+vat for one of the health and welfare or property and affairs LPAs and £700+vat for both LPAs in an individual
- £1,250+vat for both LPAs for a couple
Disbursements and timescales
The only disbursements for our LPAs service are mileage rates at the HMRC rate of 45p per mile in the event a home visit is required and fees of the Office of Public Guardian to register the instrument of £82 per LPA. This means if a couple were to wish to register health and welfare and property and affairs LPAs for each of them, the total disbursement cost would be £328.
Timescales to complete a will vary from a few days to a few weeks.
