My husband and I set up up Financial lasting POAs via a solicitor some years ago, we now want to organise health POAs also.
I see that Which? offer an online service to help in the documentation preparation of POAs so I'm thinking of using them rather than a solicitor this time.
So first question is - has anyone used the Which? POA review service and was it useful / straight forward.?

I have also come across a 30% discount of the Which service from a company called 'Resolver' https://whichwills.which.co.uk/resolverpoa  , I know 'Resolver' as a company that helps in complaint handling so I think it could be a valid offer but these days I'm suspicious of everything ???
It appears to be the same service direct from Which? but cheaper,  however when I called Which? to check the offer with them,  they didn't appear to know anything about it!!

So second question is - has anyone used this Resolver offer? Did it offer the same service as going direct with Which?
Many thanks

    You can do them yourselves you don’t need to pay someone else to do them.

    It cost £82 each to do them yourselves AFAIK. Why pay a solicitor or anyone else to fill in a form to your instructions?

    It's so easy to do yourself.   Just make sure everyone dates the same date. 

    The OPG fee is £82 per power. 

    You need someone to be a certificator- someone who has known you for at least 2 years and can sign to say you still have capacity.  But this must not be a relative.

    Dependant on your circumstances, it can be free or discounted via the HMRC site.

    June 20.....£7,587.....3 creditors left 72% paid

    £26,200 on interest only part of mortgage (July 16)...will chip away £17,103
    £49,200 repayment mortgage ( July 16) £37,764
