Why Many People Prefer Professional Help with LPAs
The government provides online forms, but they cannot offer tailored drafting guidance or personal checking when you apply completely on your own.
Common Issues That Can Delay Registration
- Incorrect Signing Order: Signing names out of sequence can cause registration problems.
- Invalid Witness Setup: Using someone named in the document as a witness may lead to rejection.
- Conflicting Instructions: Adding conflicting phrases into preference blocks can cause the application to be sent back for correction.
The Xwills Approach
- Expert Checking: A trained estate planning professional reviews your attorney arrangements before your final drafts are prepared.
- Sequence Mapping: We map out who signs, when, and where to help reduce errors.
- Drafting Support: If a drafting error caused by us leads to an OPG rework request, we will correct and re-issue the documents at no additional drafting charge.

Do you need a solicitor to make an LPA? No. You do not need a solicitor to prepare an LPA, provided it is completed correctly and meets registration requirements. Our team prepares documents in line with current professional and registration requirements used for Office of the Public Guardian processing.

Understanding the Risks of Losing Capacity Without an LPA
If a stroke, illness, or accident leaves a person unable to manage their own decisions:
Account Access Restrictions
Banks may restrict access to accounts, including joint accounts, once they are aware of loss of capacity, making it harder to pay bills and manage finances.
Welfare & Medical Decisions
Medical professionals must follow standard statutory frameworks. Family members do not have automatic authority to make decisions without an LPA or Court order.
Court of Protection Process
Appointing a Deputy later requires an application to the Court of Protection, which can involve significant delays and statutory court fees.
Our Simple 4-Step Process
