What Is a Capacity to Revoke an LPA Assessment?

Revoking a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a serious legal step. Before an existing LPA can be cancelled, the donor must have the mental capacity to make that decision.

A revocation capacity assessment explores whether the donor can:

Understand what an LPA is and the effect of revoking it.
Recognise who their appointed attorneys are and the powers they hold.
Weigh up the consequences of removing those attorneys and being without an LPA.
Communicate their decision clearly.

Our independent assessors apply the functional-first test under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, supported by a diagnostic stage if required. The result is a clear, impartial report that confirms whether the donor has the capacity to revoke their LPA.
