Thank you.
The Power of Attorney has already been set up & registered
I need a paper copy of it, but don’t know how to get it??

Surely they sent you one. Sorry if I’m being dense here.

No they didn’t, which is why I am asking

Mell967 it depends who is asking for the copy. In my experience some banks are happy if you take the original and they photocopy it. Otherwise you probably need a "certified copy" where somebody like a solicitor has to sign each page of the copy certifying it is correct
I suggest you ask whoever needs it exactly what they will accept.

If you do it on the gov.uk site it only costs about £85 for each of the two parts. If you are on certain benefits it is free.

You do it all online and the instructions are very clear. Your parents need to have a witness to the signatures.

Once the forms are completed you are sent the papers which are all punched through at the bottom confirming they are the legal documents. I photocopied ours too.

Check out the Gov website.

The Power of Attorney for my parents has be set up.
I am the only Attorney.
What I would like to know is how to get a paper copy of the POA.

I have a POA for an aunt. She set it up through a solicitor.
, I share it with my daughter.. Everything we do has to be signed by both of us.
My son in Law and his brother are attorneys for their mother, but can act independently.
I think the cost to my aunt ,about 4 years ago was £600.
