What can a specific power of attorney cover?<\/h2><\/div>

The donor gives the powers. The attorney, also called the donee, is the person appointed to use them. A specific POA defines what that person may do, for which matter and for how long.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Private property<\/h3><\/div>

Authorise defined acts for the sale, purchase, mortgage or management of a condominium, landed home or other private property in Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Provide the property details and any requirements from the bank or transaction lawyers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Motor vehicles<\/h3><\/div>

Appoint someone to handle the vehicle matters set out in the POA. Identify the vehicle and explain the transaction or administrative task.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Send any wording or document requirements given by the receiving organisation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Other defined matters<\/h3><\/div>

For banking, business or a customised appointment, send us the proposed powers and the recipient\u2019s requirements for assessment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A bank or other organisation may require its own form or approval. Acceptance should be checked before signing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Choose powers that fit your purpose<\/h2><\/div>

A specific power of attorney is usually the starting point when you need help with one matter. An All Affairs or General POA gives wider authority and needs careful consideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our All Affairs service is for one donor per POA, conversant in English, aged 75 or below and able to understand the document and give instructions freely. We generally do not prepare it for older or vulnerable persons.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our online forms accept donors aged 21 to 75. If the donor is 76 or above, contact us<\/a> for an individual assessment. These are our service conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

HDB, LPA or revocation?<\/h2><\/div>

HDB flat:<\/strong> use our HDB power of attorney service<\/a> for the prescribed HDB formats.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Planning for loss of mental capacity:<\/strong> read about a Lasting Power of Attorney<\/a>. An ordinary POA is not a substitute for an LPA.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Ending an existing appointment:<\/strong> see our POA revocation service<\/a>. Do not assume a new POA automatically cancels an earlier one.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Tell us about any existing POA, capacity concern or pressure to sign before proceeding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
