Over 50,000 Power of Attorney applications rejected

Over 50,000 Power of Attorney applications rejected by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG)last year because of errors on the forms

Reasons included:

1. The form was not fully completed by the donor;

2. Instructions that were not actionable;

3. Illegible forms that could not be read/understood;

4. Signatures were in the incorrect order;

5. Lost documents;

6. No proof submitted to support remissions or exemptions;;

7. Corrections and striking out on submitted forms

8. Not liaising with the OPG when requested.

On each of these occasions, the applicant had to resubmit the forms and pay the fee again.

This is why we recommend that with something this important, you engage us to complete all the paperwork for you and liaise directly with the OPG on your behalf saving you time and stress and this also provides you with the guarantee that everything will be conducted correctly and, don’t forget – if a professional has to resubmit an application for any reason, it is they who pay for it, not you.
