The new lasting power of attorney forms have been made available by the Office of the Public Guardian. Unfortunately, they have specifically blocked the ability for the practitioner to save the document and thus be able to amend it after minor errors have been found.

Discussions on the telephone with the office clearly indicate that they did this intentionally.

Can everyone who deals with these please write to them to point out the error of their ways and ask them to change it. It is a simple software solution.
