Looking for a Certificate Provider for LPA?

When creating a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), one of the crucial steps is choosing a reliable certificate provider. The certificate provider plays a vital role in ensuring that the individual making the LPA (the donor) fully understands the document and that they are not under any undue influence.

At Origin Wills, we offer comprehensive services as a certificate provider for LPA, guiding you through every step of the process to ensure your Power of Attorney is legally sound and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. Here’s why you should consider us for this essential service.

What is a Certificate Provider for LPA?

A certificate provider is an independent person who certifies that the donor understands the significance of the LPA and that they are making it of their own free will. This step is mandatory for the LPA to be valid and must be completed before the document is registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.

Who Can Act as a Certificate Provider?

There are two types of certificate providers:

Knowledge-Based Certificate Provider: This is someone who has known the donor personally for at least two years. They must not be related to the donor or the attorney, nor should they have any financial interest in the donor’s estate.
Skills-Based Certificate Provider: This is a professional with relevant expertise, such as a solicitor, doctor, or social worker, who can assess the donor’s understanding and ensure they are not being coerced into making the LPA.
