If you e mail the 'Office of the Public Guardian' in the link above, they will send you all the forms for free. It saves a hell of a lot of printing! The 'How to fill in...' booklets are well laid out and it is fairly easy to do, once you get your head round it! The main bugbear is that assuming you want to do a 'Property and Financial Affairs' and a 'Health and Welfare' one, you have to fill out all the forms twice! It will take you about 4 hours. Also, each LPA is £130 for as many attorneys as you like, so don't just do one attorney...do 3 or 4 to make it worthwhile (you never know who might have an accident). Also, if the donor (the person it is being done for) is on Pension Guarentee or Housing Benefit or similar, the fee is waived...there is a brown form in the pack. Goood luck!!
