About

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a document that allows a person aged 21 years or empower his or her caregiver in the event of mental incapacity. The person making the LPA is referred to as a donor while the appointed person is referred to as a donee. Through an LPA, the donee can be empowered to take care of the personal welfare (including medical welfare), and also financial matters of the donor.

A Lasting Power of Attorney takes effect from the time a donor loses their mental capacity.

In Singapore, there are two types of LPA forms that a person can choose from.

  1. LPA Form 1 – Prescribed form giving wide powers to the donees.
  2. LPA Form 2 – A blank slate where more specific powers can be granted to the donees, including the appointment of trust companies to manage the property and affairs of the donor. Requires a lawyer to do the drafting.

If you become mentally incapacitated, in the absence of an LPA, the court would have to appoint a deputy to act and make decisions on your behalf. Obtaining such court orders can be time-consuming and costly. Having an LPA will, however, do away with the need for the court order as you will have already chosen a person to make decisions on your behalf, therefore saving both time and money.
