i may be being a bit dim here but I’m confused about registering a POA.
I have a paper POA (LPA117) all drawn up, witnessed etc etc in 2015. My parents spent a LOT of money on getting this done with an ‘expert’, not a solicitor but some sort of will writer… I am now going to register the document. I have already checked that it isn’t register already. I have found the corresponding form (LP2) from the Office of the a public Guardian. There is a checklist of things to do. No where does it say to send the actual document LPA117. Do I just assume that it’s a given that I will-send this? I’m cautious as I know what my parents paid and the time it took to get it witnessed etc etc so I don’t want to risk it getting lost if it’s not needed at this point.
Hope I’ve explained ok - can anyone help? Do I send it now?

Thank you so much @AudiobookListener It sounds obvious but I’m puzzled by why it’s not on the bulleted list of actions. I will be sending it all by recorded delivery.

I've just checked and it looks as if they will.

If they are rejected I’ll just DIY starting from scratch. They only take the payment if the forms are ok so it will only cost me the special delivery to find out. I’m not sure that’s correct. There’s a reduced fee if you resubmit after correcting mistakes, and that would create a perverse incentive - bust a gut getting it right the first time and pay full fee or just hand it over in any old state, get them to check it, and oay a reduced fee when you resubmit.
