nitram, referring back to who can certify an lpa copy, you are of course right and Birmingham Midshires, having told me on the phone that a teacher, doctor etc could do it has now sent back my teacher certified copy and told me only a solicitor, stockbroker, or notary can sign it. So they have just wasted 2 weeks of my time. Aaaaaagh!
Oh, and the solicitor will be charging, talk about money for old rope.
Yeah the OPG told me the same. It's really annoying, what makes a stockbroker so special and why are solicitors allowed to charge just to stamp a document they have never seen before? I think £5 per copy is about the cheapest you can get it for.
