Why Power Of Attorney Online Feels Like a Government Service — But So Much More Helpful

08th May 2025

If you’ve landed on Power Of Attorney Online thinking it’s a government website, you’re not alone — and honestly, we take that as a compliment.

It means our service feels familiar. Trustworthy. Official. And that’s exactly how we’ve designed it.

Just like the official gov.uk website, we help people set up their Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) documents — legally and correctly — so your wishes are respected if you ever lose mental capacity. But where we differ is in the way we guide you through the process: with more clarity, more reassurance, and real people who are here to help every step of the way.

Because, let’s face it — government websites are functional, but they’re not exactly known for being user-friendly. They won’t check your forms for mistakes. They won’t remind you what’s next. And they won’t hold your hand if you’re not quite sure what “certificate provider” means.

That’s where we come in.

Power Of Attorney Online offers the same legal process, just simplified — no jargon, no guesswork, and no need to pay a solicitor hundreds of pounds.

Instead of filling in a long government form and hoping it’s right, we guide you through a simple online application that takes most people just 15 minutes. You don’t need legal knowledge — just the confidence that someone’s double-checking everything to make sure your application stands the best chance of being accepted.

In fact, over 50,000 LPA applications get rejected by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) every year. Most of the time, it’s due to small, avoidable errors — like missing a witness signature or using the wrong wording in the preferences section. Mistakes like that can delay your LPA by weeks or even months.

We help you avoid all that.

Every application submitted to Power Of Attorney Online is carefully reviewed before you sign it, and our support team is always on hand to answer questions — no bots, no phone queues, no legalese.

So, if you’re comparing us to the gov.uk site — that’s totally fair. Just know that we’re designed for people who want to get things done right the first time, with a little more peace of mind along the way.

We’re proud to be as trusted as a government service, but we’ll never let you feel like just another number in the system.

If you’re ready to start, or just curious about what setting up an LPA involves, we’re here to make it easier — and a whole lot more human.
