What is a Lasting Power of Attorney in Singapore?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document which allows a person who is at least 21 years old (“donor”) to voluntarily appoint one or more persons (“done(s)”) to make decisions and act on the donor’s behalf should he or she lose mental capacity one day. This ensures that the donor’s wishes are respected and their affairs are managed appropriately. A medical doctor or a registered psychiatrist in Singapore can issue a certificate confirming that the donor understands the implications of creating an LPA.
