Before you start
You only need to fill in this form if there are ‘people to notify’
(also called ‘people to be told’ or ‘named people’) listed in
the lasting power of attorney (LPA). See the Guide, part C.
A ‘person to notify’ is someone a person who makes an LPA (the ‘donor’)
chooses to inform about the registration of their LPA. They don’t have to
choose anyone to notify, so if that section of the LPA is blank, you don’t need
to fill in this form.
When you apply to register the LPA you must tell the people to notify that
the LPA will be registered.
You must send a copy of this form to each of the people to notify, before
you send the LPA to be registered. You can send them this form or hand it to
them in person.
You can save time by filling in pages 2 and 3 and making a photocopy to
send to each person.
The donor’s relatives are not entitled to be notified unless they have been
named in the LPA.
Detach this cover sheet before sending the form to them.

Notice of intention to register
a lasting power of attorney
You have received this notice because the person named on page 2 has
made a lasting power of attorney.
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets someone
(known as a ‘donor’) appoint people (known as ‘attorneys’) to make
decisions on their behalf. It can apply to financial decisions or health and
care decisions. An LPA can be used if the donor is unable to make their own
decisions.
In other words, the person on page 2 is appointing the people on page 3 to
make decisions on their behalf.
When they made the LPA, the donor decided you should be told about it
before it’s registered. This is so you can raise any concerns you may have. If
you do have concerns, you can only object to the registration of the LPA for
the reasons listed on page 4 of this form.
If you want to object, you must do so within 3 weeks of the date of
this notice.
If you don’t want to object you don’t have to do anything.

How to object
If you wish to object, you must do so within 3 weeks of being given
this notice.
You can only object to an LPA for one of the reasons below.
Factual objections:
the donor or an attorney has died
the donor and an attorney were married or had a civil partnership but have
divorced or ended the civil partnership (unless the LPA says the attorney
can still act if that happens)
an attorney doesn’t have the mental capacity to be an attorney (they must
be able to understand and make decisions for themselves)
an attorney has chosen to stop acting (known as ‘disclaiming their
appointment’)
the donor or an attorney is bankrupt, interim bankrupt or subject to a debt
relief order (LPA for financial decisions only)
the attorney is a trust corporation and is wound up or dissolved (LPA for
financial decisions only)
To make a factual objection, complete form LPA007 and send it to
the Office of the Public Guardian. Get the form from www.gov.uk/power-of-
attorney/object-registration or by calling 0300 456 0300.
Prescribed objections:
the LPA isn’t legally valid – for example, you don’t believe the donor had
mental capacity to make an LPA
the donor cancelled their LPA when they had mental capacity to do so
there was fraud or the donor was pressured to make the LPA
an attorney is acting above their authority or against the donor’s best
interests (or you know that they intend to do this)
To make a prescribed objection:
complete form COP7 and send it to the Court of Protection. Get the form
from www.gov.uk/object-registration or by calling 0300 456 4000 AND
complete form LPA008 and send it to the Office of the Public Guardian.
Get the form from www.gov.uk/object-registration or
by calling 0300 456 0300
If you are objecting to a specific attorney, it may not prevent registration if
other attorneys or a replacement attorney have been appointed.
