Power of attorney refund.

[tocpe321]

Just been talking to my mum and she told me about this.

If you took out a power of attorney between April 2013 and March 2017 it appears that you can claim part of your fee back. This is on a scale depending when you took it out.

The rate varies between £54 and £37 plus nominal interest.

The way it reads is that you can get this amount per power of attorney so if you have medical and financial you can hopefully get a double fee i.e. a couple could end up with £200 plus.

This is the link on the Government website.

Our niece our lawyer told us this and sorted it all out for us when we revised our wills and did our POAs when we retired Dec 2016

My mum had this done but I can't remember when. I must check. I half mentioned it to her the other day then forgot.

Yes but Scotland has something similar but well hidden in gobbledegook

I have just claimed refunds for 2 poa’s. Very easy to do online, you just need your poa number, your details and details of one of your attorneys. My fil purchased his through a solicitor but no need to go back to a solicitor to claim, just do it yourself online.

You are right - it's well hidden and I can't find it! Bit of a bummer as we took out POA within these dates.

I’ve done 3 since Martin Lewis mentioned it on This Morning. Should get 3 x £45 back. Not to be sneezed at👍

Thanks for this, I did 2 POAs for my SIL around 18 months ago but hadn't heard about being able to claim some back. I will get the details from her and help her make a claim asap.

I've not been able to find anything either.
