Setting up power of attorney

If you’re thinking of setting up an arrangement to authorise:

  • your son/daughter/relative or
  • solicitor to deal with your finances or
  • you have power of attorney for a person with an LGPS pension

please fill in our ‘Power of attorney’ form. We’ll also need a copy of the full power of attorney document or an LPA online access code.

We can only pay pension benefits to a bank account in the member’s name, whether this is a sole or joint account.

You can find useful information about being an appointed attorney on the Age UK and GOV.UK websites.
