Lasting power of attorney –
I'm pretty sure there is no necessity to capitalise, as required by the guidelines. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

May be thought desirable by whom? Age UK are on record as saying: "We would encourage people to read through the forms and guidance first and, if they want to set up something fairly simple and feel confident about their decisions and filling out the forms, then they don't have to have legal advice."

The section on application forms has lots of vague and unattributed assertions. The whole section either needs re-writing or deleting.
Wikipedia manual of style section on unsupported attributions says, "A common form of weasel wording is through vague attribution, where a statement is dressed with authority with no substantial basis." That pretty much sums up this section.

1. How to enforce an LPA once one is registered. Does one simply wave the document under the organisation's nose when they refuse to carry out your instructions on the donor's behalf ?
2. How does the LPA fair in a 'fight' with criminal law ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.240.100 ( talk) 11:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
This is Simon Busch from the editorial team at the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). We wanted to say, first, thanks to those who created this page about Lasting Powers of Attorney, which is a useful information resource for users of OPG's services.
We also wanted to suggest some possible updates. First, we noticed that the page makes no mention of OPG's digital service for creating LPAs, launched in 2013. The digital service aims to make creating an LPA easier by, for example, providing online guidance at every step of the creation process and making errors that often crop up on the paper LPA forms less likely to occur.
Wording along the following lines might serve to make this addition:
It could also be useful to mention and link to the LPA forms download page:
OPG has also recently published guides for people to help them act as an attorney that cover such things as:
·learning more about the person you’re acting for ·helping them to make decisions ·understanding your legal responsibilities ·dealing with other people and organisations on behalf of someone else
Thanks again to any Wikipedia users who are able to make updates along these lines, which we think would be useful to users of OPG's services.
Many thanks – SimonBOPG ( talk) 14:25, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
