What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in Singapore?

The LPA is a legal document which allows a person who is at least 21 years of age (‘donor’), to voluntarily appoint one or more persons (‘donee(s)’) to make decisions and act on his/her behalf if the donor loses mental capacity one day.

A Donee can be appointed to act in the two broad areas of personal welfare and property & affairs matters.

Benefits of an LPA

  • Enables a person to make a personal, considered choice of a trusted proxy decision maker, who is reliable and competent to act in his/her best interests should he/she lose mental capacity one day.
  • Alleviates the stress and difficulties faced by loved ones who need to apply for a Deputyship order, if the person loses mental capacity without an LPA in place.

Cost of making a LPA in Singapore

  • At ATA Medical, the cost of making a LPA is $65 before GST.
  • Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) has waived the LPA Form 1 application fee for Singapore Citizens till 31st March 2023.

The difference between LPA Form 1 and LPA Form 2

  • LPA Form 1: For Donors who wish to grant Donee(s) general power with basic restrictions.
  • LPA Form 2: For Donors who wish to grant Donee(s) customised powers. The clauses in the LPA Form 2 have to be drafted by a qualified Singapore lawyer*.

98% of Singapore Citizens who have made an LPA used the LPA Form 1.
*Note: This refers to a Singapore solicitor qualified to practice Singapore law in a Singapore law practice.

Yes, it will. Should you ever be in a situation where you are unable to act, your spouse will need to make an application to become a “deputy”. This is a long and costly procedure, and a LPA ensures your spouse can act on your behalf - such as paying for your medical expenses.
You will receive an SMS and email from the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF).
Yes, you may. Most of our health screening packages do not require fasting so it will be more convenient for both the donor or donee(s) to come at any time of the day. Our health screening packages start from $70.
