For Donees
Before accepting your appointment in the Donor’s LPA, we encourage you to:
- Discuss with the Donor on the powers and scope of authority granted to you in the LPA.
- If there is more than 1 Donee, clarify with the Donor if you will be making decisions jointly, or jointly and severally with the other Donee.
- Refer to the Code of Practice to understand the roles and responsibilities of a Donee, and best practices to act in the Donor’s best interest when he/she loses mental capacity.
Steps to accept appointment as Donee:
- Log in to OPG Online (OPGO) portal via Singpass.
- If it is your first-time login, update your Profile page*.
- Click on the ‘Overview’ tab and scroll down to the ‘You as a Donee’ section.
- Click on ‘View LPA to Accept’ button to access the Donor’s LPA.
- Read the Important Information and details in the LPA before clicking on the ‘Accept’ button to accept your appointment.
*Please also update your contact details on this Profile page as and when there are changes.
Using the LPA as a Donee:
Donees should send the electronic copy of the Donor’s registered LPA to third parties via OPGO when transacting on the Donor’s behalf after he/she has lost mental capacity, as it is the most updated copy of the LPA. More information on using an LPA can be found here.
