Anyone who has gone through the process of making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) knows that the documents are technical and time consuming to prepare. For your attorneys to use the LPAs you then need them registered by the OPG which can take months. In spite of these difficulties, having your attorneys provide organisations with an acceptable copy of the registered LPA can often feel like the most difficult part.

As well as your attorneys having to provide the same information time and again to every organisation you have assets or accounts with, each organisation will have their own set of policies and regulations. Does your attorney need to visit in person with their idenfitifation? Do they need an original or a certified copy? Can you risk posting an original? Has the copy sent in to the bank been lost? Has it been lost more than once?

UK Restructuring & Insolvency Market 2026: Early Action By Funders And Directors Alike Is The New Survival Strategy

Several market commentary pieces this week, including an Insider UK survey of UK restructuring market professionals (15 January 2026), amongst others, suggest that during 2026 the UK economy will not collapse, but shift towards a more complex reality where timing, creditor behaviour, and asset focus are key.
