Who needs a Lasting Power of Attorney?
Most people are setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney online in the UK for themselves or for an ageing parent. Keystone is built for both.
Helping an elderly parent
Work through the questionnaire together. Your parent signs in their own hand; you handle everything else.
Lasting Power of Attorney Online
The one document that lets someone you trust step in if you ever cannot speak for yourself.
Without a Power of Attorney in place, no one can legally step in for you if you lose mental capacity. Anyone who tries (spouse, partner, sibling, friend, adult child) has to apply to the Court of Protection instead. That is six months of waiting and over a grand in fees before anything gets sorted.
We use the official government forms from the Office of the Public Guardian. Our questionnaire walks you through appointing someone you trust, for either type of Power of Attorney used in England and Wales.
Just £69 per document

How it works
Setting up your Lasting Power of Attorney online takes three steps.
01
Answer simple questions
A guided questionnaire in plain English. No legal jargon. Takes around 15 minutes.
02
Review your document
We generate the statutory form from your answers. Review every page and make changes before you print.
03
Sign, witness and register
Wet ink signatures with clear instructions. For Lasting Powers of Attorney, we walk you through registration with the Office of the Public Guardian.
Same official form. £300+ with a solicitor. £69 with us.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a standard government form. A solicitor charging £300+ uses the exact same one Keystone fills in for £69. What the solicitor's fee buys is knowing which boxes to tick and what order to sign, and our guided form does that for you, with a signing pack the Office of the Public Guardian cannot reject.

I started Keystone after my own parents got quoted £1,400 by a solicitor for two Powers of Attorney. Exact same government forms. Exact same legal result. It just felt like something that shouldn't need to cost that much.

Same government form. Same tick boxes. Same legal validity. A fraction of the cost.
We are not a law firm and we do not need to be. If your estate is complex (overseas property, business assets, trusts, disputed beneficiaries) a specialist solicitor is worth the extra fee. We would rather tell you that than take your money.

Plus the £92 Office of the Public Guardian registration fee (paid to the government, not us)
The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 per Lasting Power of Attorney to register it. We do not collect this. You pay the Office of the Public Guardian directly when you post your forms.
You might pay less: 50% off (£46) if your gross income is under £12,000, or a full waiver (£0) if you receive certain means-tested benefits like Pension Credit Guarantee, Income-related ESA, or Universal Credit with income under £12,000. We confirm eligibility and prepare the fee reduction form alongside your order.
Most people set up two Powers of Attorney (one for medical and care decisions, one for money and property). Every additional document in the same order is 25% off, and we include a Will with every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Power of Attorney made online actually legal?▾
It is. Same form the Office of the Public Guardian publishes. Get it signed in wet ink, witnessed, and registered, and it carries the exact legal weight of a solicitor-drafted one. Nothing about the 'online' bit weakens it.
And an online Will? Same story in England and Wales?▾
Same story. Under the Wills Act 1837, a Will is legally valid as long as you sign it and two witnesses sign too. That's the bar. Our online Will meets that bar, and we give you dead clear instructions on who signs where so nothing goes sideways.
Can I set this up for my mum or dad?▾
Not sign it for them. That part the law won't let anyone else do. But if they've still got mental capacity, you can do pretty much everything around the signing. Sit down at the table, work through the questions, book in the witnesses, stick the forms in the post. When the pen has to touch paper, they pick it up themselves.
How long does the whole thing take?▾
Questionnaire: about a quarter of an hour for most people. Signing and witnessing: can all happen the same day if you've got a witness lined up. Then the Office of the Public Guardian takes another eight to ten weeks to actually register the document.
What if I never get around to a Will or a Power of Attorney?▾
Die without a Will and the rules of intestacy take over. They split your estate by a rigid formula that rarely matches what you'd actually have wanted. Lose mental capacity without a Power of Attorney and the situation's worse: no one can legally touch your bank account or speak for you on care decisions until someone applies to the Court of Protection. Half a year of waiting. Over a grand in fees.
Do I need a solicitor for this?▾
Usually not. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a standard government form, and the document you get online is the document a solicitor fills in on your behalf. Same piece of paper, a fraction of the price. The one time we do send people to a solicitor: genuinely complex estates. Overseas property, a business, a trust, a family row waiting to happen. That's when the fee buys you real advice.
