For joint attorneys

Decide together, no matter your location

For LPAs with joint attorneys - such as siblings, partners, or a family member and a solicitor - every authorisation is captured and decisions can be made from anywhere. Whether attorneys are overseas or spread across the country, there's no need to post documents or coordinate in-person meetings. Each attorney can review, agree, and authorise remotely.

  • Multi-attorney authorisation on payments above your chosen threshold
  • Every attorney has their own secure login and audit trail
  • Integrated e-signatures for account onboarding

Features

Everything you need to manage money under an LPA.

Built on Monika's safeguarding platform and designed around the realities of acting as an attorney — wherever in the world you are.

Shared, live visibility

Every attorney sees balances, transactions and direct debits in real time, from any device — so nobody has to chase a paper statement.

Multi-attorney approvals

Payments above a threshold you set need sign-off from each appointed attorney, captured with a full, timestamped audit trail.

Built for overseas & remote attorneys

Review and authorise from anywhere, with no documents to post or in-person meetings to arrange — even when attorneys are abroad or spread across the country.

Donor & carer cards

The donor keeps their own card and independence, while carers get a dedicated card with agreed spend limits — every purchase visible to attorneys.

OPG-ready reporting

One-click statements for Office of the Public Guardian reviews and family discussions, with receipts stored securely against transactions.

Protected & private

Held with a regulated banking partner and FSCS-protected up to the statutory limit. Your data is encrypted, GDPR-compliant, and never sold.

How it works

Three easy steps, no paperwork mountain.

We've taken the complicated parts and handled them for you. Most families are up and running within a fortnight.

1

Tell us about your LPA

Make an enquiry online or by phone. A specialist will talk you through how the account works and answer any questions about your situation.

2

We set everything up

We verify the LPA, open the account, and option to use the Current Account Switch Service to bring across the existing one. Around seven days, no upheaval.

3

Manage together, from day one

Your dashboard, the donor's card, the alerts, the reports — all working from the moment the switch completes. Support on hand if you need us.

Built on 16 years of safeguarding

The team trusted by hundreds of UK solicitors — now for families.

The LPA Account is built on Monika, the money management platform already used by professional attorneys and local authorities across the UK. The same safeguards, made free for family LPAs.

Questions, answered

The things most families ask first.

Is there a cost to open the account?
There's a simple flat fee of £7.50 per month — no tiers and no balance conditions, and nothing extra to open the account.
How long does the switch take?
Around seven working days, using the official Current Account Switch Service. We handle direct debits, standing orders and incoming payment, so nothing slips through.
Do we need a registered LPA in place already?
Yes — a Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Financial Affairs needs to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. If you're partway through the process or unsure, get in touch and we'll help you find the right next step.
Can more than one attorney use the account?
Yes. Every appointed attorney can have their own login. You decide together how payment approvals work, for instance, requiring two signatures on anything over £500.
Will the donor still be able to spend their own money?
Yes. The donor remains in control of the account and can decide how much support or access the attorney has. For example, they might choose to handle everyday spending with a debit card while leaving bills and benefit payments to the attorney.

If the attorney has concerns about the donor’s ability to manage the account, and following a financial capacity assessment, the attorney may take the lead and determine the level of access that is appropriate for the donor.

Is my data safe?
Yes. We're GDPR-compliant, your data is encrypted, and we never sell information to third parties. Banking is handled by our regulated banking partner and is FSCS-protected up to the statutory limit.
