What’s inside

  • The difference between Property & Finance and Health & Welfare LPAs, and why most families need both
  • Section-by-section guidance through the LP1F and LP1H forms, in plain English
  • Who can and can't act as a witness or certificate provider, and why this trips people up
  • The mental capacity requirement explained — and why timing matters so much
  • How to avoid the most common reasons the Office of the Public Guardian rejects applications

This is general guidance to help you complete the forms, not legal advice. Where a situation is complicated, we say so and point you to a solicitor.

Created by Steve Evans after navigating his mum’s dementia and his dad’s terminal illness. These are the practical pages he wished his own family had ready. Read our story
