for registration of a lasting power of attorney.
• You may have to pay a fee when you make an
application. Refer to the leaflet COP44 Court of

• An application to object must be made within
three weeks from the day on which you received

• If you are not one of the people who received

or
– if you object on certain specified factual
grounds, by using the form LPA007 objection
to the Office of the Public Guardian of a
proposed registration of a lasting power of
attorney on factual grounds.
• You may need to pay for any costs you incur
during the proceedings. If the court considers that
you have acted unreasonably you can be ordered
to pay the costs incurred by other parties.
