Title: Power of attorney refunds
Post by: Varche on 10 December 2020, 15:03:25: Just a heads up for anyone who created and paid for a POA in England and Wales between April 2013 and March 2017 . The donor is likely eligible for refund(s) £37 to £54 per POA. as there was a general overcharge.

If the donor is still alive it takes about ten minutes to apply online - one application covers all POA's for that person (e.g. two attorneys and POA for health and POA for wealth equals four overpayments) . If dead , it takes a bit longer.

https://www.gov.uk/power-of-attorney-refund for more details.

You only have till end of Jan 2021 to get the application in. Hope that helps someone.

I have applied for a refund. £38 in my case, which is better than a knee in the groin, or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick*

* Unless you are into pain and willing to pay for it on a regular basis. :)
