What is an LPA?
An LPA is a legal document which allows a person aged 21 years or older ('donor'), to voluntarily
appoint one or more persons ('donee') he trusts, to decide and act on his behalf should he lose
mental capacity.
Donees can be appointed in two broad areas, namely: personal welfare and/or property & affairs
matters. If there are more than one donees appointed, the donor can specify for them to act
Jointly : donees must always act together; or
Jointly and severally : donees can act together or separately
