Overview

• The UK government says the LPA registration fee will rise from £82 to £92 on 17 November 2025.
• Lewis called an LPA “more important than a will” and said he has had one since his 30s.
• Without an LPA, families may face the Court of Protection to make decisions, a process described as lengthy, stressful, and costly.
• There are two LPAs: one for health and welfare decisions and another for property and financial affairs.
• Lewis delivered the advice on his BBC podcast, urging people to put arrangements in place well before old age.
