Matrix Estate Planning: can help register a power of attorney (POA) registering Property and Finance, as well as health and welfare power-of-attorney documents. When a couple, such as a husband and wife, have Property and Finance and health and welfare power of attorney that requires registration, a total of four documents need to be submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian. The standard registration cost is £82 per document, resulting in a total fee of £328.
It is important to note that approximately 15% of applications to the Office of the Public Guardian are returned due to errors, often stemming from mistakes during the signing and witnessing process. In such cases, there may be an additional registration fee of £41 if resubmission is required within three months of the documents being returned. Matrix Estate Planning Limited can assist in drafting and preparing your documents, offering professional signing, witnessing services, and certificate provider services.
When it comes to registering a power-of-attorney (POA) there is a compulsory fee of £82 for England and Wales (£85 in Scotland, £165 in Northern Ireland). However, individuals earning less than £12,000/year can provide evidence to pay a reduced fee of £41. Payment of the registration fee can be made by sending a check with the forms to the Office of the Public Guardian or through the government website.
