Plan while you can<\/h3><\/div>

You must be at least 21 and have mental capacity to make an LPA. Choose trusted people, called Donees, to act if you later lose capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Form 1 certification<\/h3><\/div>

We certify LPA Form 1 through OPGO and assist with hardcopy applications in exceptional cases. We do not provide an LPA Form 2 service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meet us in person<\/h3><\/div>

The Donor attends our Singapore office for certification. For OPGO, bring your identity document and a smartphone with the Singpass app ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to arrange LPA certification through OPGO<\/h2><\/div>

The online route still includes a face-to-face meeting with an LPA certificate issuer. Follow these steps before your appointment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Make your choices<\/h3><\/div>

Log in to OPGO<\/a> with Singpass. Complete LPA Form 1, name your Donees and select their powers. Discuss your wishes with them first.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. Get their acceptance<\/h3><\/div>

Your Donees and any Replacement Donee review the LPA and accept their appointments through OPGO. Wait for confirmation that all have accepted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3. Meet and sign<\/h3><\/div>

Book your appointment with us. Our lawyer meets you, carries out the certification checks and witnesses your digital signing using Singpass. OPG then processes registration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Read our OPGO application guide<\/a> or view the official OPGO process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What does an LPA certificate issuer check?<\/h2><\/div>

Certification is a safeguard for the person making the LPA. Our lawyer speaks with you to check that you understand its purpose and the powers you give your Donees.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The certificate issuer must also be satisfied that no fraud or undue pressure led you to make the LPA, and that nothing else prevents its creation. You should feel free to ask questions and explain your wishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The appointment does not itself mean that your LPA is registered. OPG reviews the application after certification.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
