What is LPA006 Donor's objection to LPA registration?

If you made a lasting power of attorney (LPA) in England and Wales and someone, usually one of your attorneys, has applied to register it but you don't want it registered, form LPA006 is how you object. You complete it, sign it and send it to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). One form covers up to two LPAs, for example your property and financial affairs LPA and your health and welfare LPA.

The form asks for your details and date of birth, the case number (if you know it) and type of each LPA, your reasons, and the names and addresses of the attorneys if you know them. The form warns that OPG will suspend the LPA when it receives it, and your attorneys won't be able to use it unless they apply to the Court of Protection and the court orders it to be registered.

FileIt fills in OPG's own LPA006 (03.17 edition, the one gov.uk still points donors to), with accented and Eastern European letters printed correctly, and checks your reasons fit the box. You print it, sign it by hand and post it to OPG at the address on the form. FileIt never sends anything for you.

How to fill out LPA006 Donor's objection to LPA registration, step by step

1 Donor details

Your title, names, address and date of birth, as in the LPA.

2 LPA details

For each LPA you're objecting to (up to two): the case number if you know it, and whether it's for property and financial affairs or for health and welfare.

3 Your reasons

Explain why you don't want the LPA registered.

4 Attorneys

The full name and address of each attorney, if known. There's room for four on the form and four more on the continuation sheet, which you only send if you've used it.

5 Sign and date

Sign the printed form yourself to confirm your objection, add the date, and post it to OPG at the address on page 2.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Someone other than the donor using this form. Attorneys and people to notify have their own forms.
  • Not signing the form.
  • Objecting to more than two LPAs on one form.
  • Sending the continuation sheet when it's blank. The form says to send it only if you used it.

After you fill it out

Print the form, sign and date it, and post it to the Office of the Public Guardian at the address printed on it. FileIt doesn't send it for you.

The form says OPG will suspend the LPA(s) when it receives the form; your attorneys can then use them only if the Court of Protection orders them to be registered.

Keep a copy with your LPA papers in your FileIt folder.

LPA006 Donor's objection to LPA registration: frequently asked questions

Who can use LPA006?

Only the donor, the person who made the LPA. gov.uk says attorneys and people to be told object in other ways: LPA007 for factual objections, or LPA008 and the Court of Protection's COP7 for objections on prescribed grounds.

What happens after OPG receives my objection?

The form says OPG will suspend your LPA(s). Your attorneys will then not be able to use them unless they apply to the Court of Protection and the court orders the LPA(s) to be registered.

Can I object to both of my LPAs on one form?

Yes. The form covers up to two LPAs. Give the case number (if known) and type for each.

Can I sign LPA006 electronically?

FileIt treats it as hand-signed: print it, sign it yourself and post it to OPG. OPG doesn't say it accepts an electronic signature on this form.

Do I need the LPA case number?

Only if you know it. The form asks for it 'if known'.
