⚖️ LPA Fee Changes

Subject to parliamentary approval, the Ministry of Justice will increase the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) application fee later this year.

• From 17 November 2025, the fee will rise from £82 to £92 per application.

• Some applicants may qualify for exemption (no fee) or remission (fee reduction) depending on their circumstances.
