BCustomer input — what we ask the user

B.1The conversation shape

~12–18 minutes per LPA. The two LPAs (P&F and H&W) share most input fields — running both together saves 50% on time. Save-and-resume essential because choosing attorneys is emotionally complex.

B.2The fields we collect

Section A — About you (the donor)

Section B — Your attorneys

Section C — Replacement attorneys (strongly recommended)

Section D — Instructions and preferences

Section E — When the LPA should start (P&F only)

Section F — Life-sustaining treatment (H&W only)

Section G — Certificate provider

Section H — People to be notified (optional)

B.3Evidence & verification

B.4Branching & edge cases

  1. Both LPAs, simple attorney structure — ~50%
  2. Single LPA only — ~20%
  3. Mirror pair — ~20%
  4. Joint-and-several multi-attorney — ~5%
  5. Business owner with continuity instructions — ~5%, complexity flag

B.5Drop-off risks

CProduct output — what the customer receives

C.1The deliverable

For each LPA: the completed OPG form (LP1F or LP1H, pixel-accurate against OPG templates) + LegalHelp Cover Sheet + Signing & Submission Instructions + (optional) People-to-be-notified letters.

See the Specimen Output at the bottom: Patricia Mitchell, 64, recently diagnosed with early Parkinson's, makes a Property & Financial LPA with her two adult children as joint-and-several attorneys.

C.3What's included

C.4The visual treatment

The LPA form must look exactly like the OPG-prescribed form — the most format-constrained product in the suite. LegalHelp branding sits on Cover Sheet and Submission Instructions only.

C.5Handoff & follow-up

DPricing & commercial shape

D.1Headline price

Compared against: Co-op LPA £399 single / £599 mirror. 75%+ cheaper at the single-LPA price.

D.2Unit economics

D.3Upsell hooks

ECompliance guardrails

E.1Why this is 🟢

LPAs are statutory instruments registered with the OPG. We produce the form; the user signs and submits. Not a reserved activity under LSA 2007. Co-op, Kwil, Farewill all do it. The key risk is OPG submission — we never submit on the user's behalf. Some competitors do; we don't, because it crosses into agency territory.

E.2User-as-actor framing

E.3What the AI does NOT do

E.4Required disclosures

On Cover Sheet and Submission Instructions:
This LPA has been generated from your inputs and reviewed by [Reviewer name]. It has no legal effect until: (1) signed by the donor, certificate provider, and attorneys in the required order; and (2) registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (£82 fee per LPA, payable to the OPG). LegalHelp is not a law firm and does not register your LPA on your behalf.

G.1What we need before launch

G.2Open questions

  1. OPG fee waiver flow. ~30% of users may qualify. Worth specific waiver-application support?
  2. People-to-be-notified mechanic. "We'll email your nominated people when LPA is signed (not registered — that's OPG's job)"?
  3. OPG submission upsell. Partner with SRA-regulated firm for £30–40 submission? Phase 2.
  4. Reviewer panel volume. Likely 2x Will G3 because of Will cross-sell.
Specimen output

What the customer actually receives.

A 3-page A4 example: Patricia Anne Mitchell, 64, recently diagnosed with early Parkinson's, makes a Property & Financial Affairs LPA with her two adult children — Daniel and Rebecca — as joint-and-several attorneys. She wants the LPA to be usable immediately on registration, not only on loss of capacity, so the children can help with day-to-day finances as her condition progresses.
