You can get part of your application fee back if you applied to register a power attorney from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2017.

This applies to lasting powers of attorney (LPA) and enduring powers of attorney (EPA).

Who can claim a refund

You can make a claim if you’re:

• the ‘donor’ – the person who made the power of attorney
• an ‘attorney’ – appointed by the donor in an LPA or EPA

The refund must be paid to the donor.

You only need to make one claim per donor, even if you made more than one power of attorney.

How much you’ll get

How much you get depends on when you paid the fees. You’ll also get 0.5% interest.

You can still claim a refund even if you don’t know when you paid the fees.

You’ll get half the refund if you paid a reduced fee (‘remission’).

How to claim

It takes about 10 minutes to claim online.

You must claim by phone if:

• the donor doesn’t have a UK bank account
• the donor has died
• you’re a court-appointed deputy

You can also claim by phone if you don’t have a computer or can’t use one easily.
