Warning - Power of Attorney Risks

💥50,000+ rejections at the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) last year due to completion errors, handwriting, incorrect dating.

💥The system - A 30 year old paper based standard template system cannot input the required instructions/preferences around Financial Management leaving people with certain investments cut off from their investment/pension fund managers.

💥Attorneys - Who and how they act, again no specific guidance, meaning people end up with unworkable documents at a time when they need them most. This includes assessing the suitability of attorneys, replacement attorneys and any specific instructions to insert. 

💥Errors - If forms are rejected you can be charged again for the registration fees of £328 for a couple.

💥Over payment of fees - We make a thorough assessment of your entitlement to the registration fees and will apply for a fee remission or waiver on your behalf if you qualify. All assessed as part of our service.

💥For life - These documents last for life and should be a right first. We can help with this, giving you peace of mind, and redress if there are ever any issues. Usually through inexperience a person establishes that their documents aren't workable until it's too late.

💥Documents cannot be changed/updated - We help clients put the right provision within them making them workable for the rest of their lives, so that they never have to re-apply. If someone has lost mental capacity, they cannot make a reapplication and will be stuck with an unworkable, or ineffective documents. This would then mean the Court of Protection would become involved which is expensive and results in families losing control over affairs.


Given the scope of power imposed by a POA, and the risks of creating invalid or unworkable documents any savings made by having professional guidance is a false economy. 

Iform can help from as little as £395 for both powers (Property & Finance AND Health & Welfare) per person excluding registration fees. No charge for our meetings, assessments or advice.
