The Ministry of Justice is running a consultation (ending on 13th October) on ‘modernising’ LPAs.
It states:
‘The number of registered lasting powers of attorney (LPA) has increased drastically in recent years to more than five million, but the process of making one retains many paper-based features that are over 30 years old.’
The proposed changes include:
§New and improved safeguards to protect against fraud and abuse
§Process to be made simpler and easy to use
§Shift to predominantly digital service’
