Yes. Even if an LPA hasn’t been activated, you can raise objections to its registration with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). Common reasons include concerns about the donor’s mental capacity at the time of signing, suspected undue influence, or procedural irregularities in how the document was executed.
To remove an attorney, you’ll need to show that they are not acting in the donor’s best interests, this might include evidence of financial abuse, neglect, poor record-keeping, or conflicts of interest. Financial statements, property records, witness accounts, and even emails or texts can all be helpful.
A Power of Attorney is typically used for short-term or specific purposes and only while the person still has mental capacity. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is designed to continue if the person loses capacity and must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used.
Yes. Attorneys can only make small, reasonable gifts (e.g. birthdays or charity donations) without court approval. Larger gifts, interest-free loans, or transfers of property can be challenged and even reversed by the Court of Protection if they are deemed unauthorised or not in the donor’s best interests.
