Why Using an Online Service for a Lasting Power of Attorney is a Smart Alternative to a Solicitor
20th March 2025
Thinking about setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) but not sure whether to use a solicitor or go the online route? You’re not alone! Many people assume they have to use a solicitor, but the truth is—there’s a cheaper, faster, and more convenient alternative.
Let’s explore why using an online service to set up your LPA might be the best decision you make.
1. It’s More Affordable 💰
Let’s be honest—solicitors can be expensive. Depending on where you go, setting up an LPA through a solicitor could cost you over £1000. On the other hand, using an online service is a fraction of the cost, making it far more accessible for most people.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality, our online service is a great option.
2. It’s Quick and Easy ⏳
Solicitors often require multiple appointments, paperwork, and back-and-forth emails. With an online service, you can complete your LPA application in your own time, at your own pace, from the comfort of your home.
Our online platform guides you step by step, making the process simple and stress-free—no need to wait weeks for appointments!
3. No Legal Jargon, Just Plain English ✍️
One of the biggest concerns about setting up an LPA is understanding all the legal terms. Solicitors often use complicated language, which can feel overwhelming. Our online service, however, breaks everything down in easy-to-understand terms, so you always know exactly what you’re doing.
No confusion, no legalese—just clear instructions designed for everyday people.
4. Expert Reviews for Peace of Mind ✅
Worried about making mistakes? Our online service has expert reviewers checking your application before submission. This ensures everything is completed correctly before it gets sent to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), helping you avoid unnecessary delays or rejections.
5. Support When You Need It 📞
Think online services leave you on your own? Not at all! Our LPA online services offer customer support via email. So, if you ever get stuck, help is just a message away—without the high hourly fees of a solicitor.
6. The Same Legal Protection 🏛️
Many people assume that using a solicitor gives their LPA extra legal power. The truth is—whether you use a solicitor or an online service, your LPA still has to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to be legally valid.
So as long as it’s completed correctly, an online LPA is just as official as one created by a solicitor.
If you want a cost-effective, straightforward, and stress-free way to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney, an online service is a fantastic alternative to using a solicitor. It gives you control over the process, saves you time and money, and still ensures you get a legally valid LPA.
