Making a will, what we need to know?

There's a compulsory cost of £82 to register a Power of Attorney (in England and Wales – it's £77 in Scotland, £127 in Northern Ireland). If you earn less than £12,000/year though, you can provide evidence to have a reduced fee of £41. Those on certain benefits are exempt from fees.

It's £82 each for the property and finance LPA and the health and welfare LPA, so if you get both, that's £164.

When it refers to a donor is that the person who lost capacity or the person who gets poa.

The donor would be your dad.
