# LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION
Date: 14 February 2033
Parties: Harold Evans, Naomi Evans and co-attorney James Evans
## 1. Purpose and parties
I, Naomi Evans of 11 Cedar Avenue, Exeter EX2 7JP, am Harold Evans's daughter and one of the attorneys appointed by Harold in his property and financial affairs lasting power of attorney dated 6 December 2032. The co-attorney is Harold's son James Evans of 3 Orchard View, Exeter EX1 3LF; this letter is copied to him.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
The Office of the Public Guardian has registered the LPA and returned the registration confirmation dated 3 February 2033. Registration permits an attorney to act within the instrument, but it does not transfer ownership to us. Harold made the decision while he had capacity, and his instructions and wishes remain central.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
The LPA is a property and financial affairs instrument only. It covers ordinary banking, bills and dealings with Harold's flat as authorised, but not health and welfare decisions. We must follow Harold's instructions, help him participate where possible, keep his money separate, and act in his best interests if he lacks capacity for a particular decision.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
No attorney will sell the flat, make gifts or change Harold's investments under this notification. I will use the LPA only for agreed household bills and benefits administration, with Harold's involvement. Any unusual transaction will be discussed with Harold and James where practicable, recorded with its reason and reviewed against the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and its Code of Practice.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
The appointment is joint and several unless the instrument says otherwise, so either attorney may be able to act, but we have agreed to obtain both signatures for payments over £1,000. Harold can ask the attorneys to explain transactions and can cancel the LPA while he has capacity. The OPG can investigate concerns, and the Court of Protection may have jurisdiction over difficult applications.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
For transparency, I will keep a ledger, bank statements, receipts and decisions, and send James a quarterly summary beginning 31 March 2033. Concerns should be raised with me first in writing by 10 March; they will not be suppressed, and confidential information will be shared only as necessary. This is a safeguarding arrangement, not evidence that Harold lacks capacity.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional notification is dated 14 February 2033 and concerns England and Wales. It is not a substitute for the registered instrument, medical assessment or legal advice, and an attorney must not assume that registration authorises every act. Harold's autonomy, statutory duties and the OPG's oversight are preserved; independent advice should be obtained before any major decision.
