Certified LPA copies required by LR for a house sale
Certified LPA copies required by LR for a house sale

I am helping my parents sell their house. We have had to invoke the LPA for Finance and Property for my Mum in this sale as she has advanced dementia. However, their buyers solicitors say that every single page of the LPA copy must be certified and signed by a solicitor or notary. Is this correct?<br> <br> The notary we used copied the LPA and certified only the cover page at a cost of £200. She says that is usually all that is required. And if we have to re-do it with all the pages certified and signed, she will need to charge us alot more. Is this really the only way we can get this sorted? Most solicitors I approached about this (before I asked the notary) simply said they don't do this sort of thing.  I'm at a loss as to what to do, apart from pay a huge sum to the notary to re-copy and certify all the pages of the LPA.<br> Can you help?

Hello Emma - It is something that you would need to agree with the solicitors involved, but perhaps section 7 of our <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/powers-of-attorney-and-registered-land">Practice Guide 9</a> may help.
