LPA007 Objection to the Office of the Public Guardian of a Proposed Registration of a Lasting Power of Attorney on Factual Grounds
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document in which the maker of the document names people who will act on his behalf if he becomes mentally incapable and is no longer able to make decisions for himself or manage his own affairs.
The person who makes the LPA is called the donor and the people appointed to act on his behalf are called attorneys. The Office of the Public Guardian is responsible for ensuring that attorneys act in the donor’s best interests and an attorney cannot act under an LPA until it has been registered with the Office of the public Guardian.
When an attorney makes an application to register the LPA, any other attorney or anyone else named in the LPA can object to this registration. This form should be used where the registration is based on factual grounds, and not on the grounds that the donor still has capacity to manage his own affairs. For example:
- The donor is bankrupt or dead
- The attorney is bankrupt or dead
- The attorney lacks capacity to act or has disclaimed appointment
