Cancel POA application fee for refund?

Can I claim a refund for the £82 application fee for Power of Attorney if the OPG has yet to issue the LPA and in the meantime the donor has passed away ?

This happened to us in 2020 when sadly MIL passed away before the LPA was issued. We phoned them quite early in the estate administration process and they quite promptly refunded both fees for Health and Finance POAs.

I’m currently applying for Guardianship for my stepfather. My solicitor told me the OPG refund the fees if the person dies before it’s granted. I’d assume the same applies to POA?

I was told the same about an LPA earlier this month.
