An exemption is when the person making the Lasting Power of Aattorney (the donor) does not have to pay the application fee to register an LPA or the repeat application fee to register the LPA, based on whether they are receiving benefits, such as Income Support or Local Housing Allowance.
A remission is granted where the donor’s income is less than £12,000 per annum, and allows the donor to only pay half of the relevant application fee costs. Both of these can be applied for using the LPA120 form, found on the UK Gov Website (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/power-of-attorney-fees) and should be sent to the Office of the Public Guardian alongside your LPA forms.
