Since 2010, Singapore citizens and permanent residents have been
encouraged to utilise the Lasting Power of Attorney, otherwise known as
the LPA, to protect their interests but many in Singapore are still
uncertain or unaware about it. Unfortunately, less than 2% of
Singaporeans have done an LPA. This book seeks to encourage more people
to do the LPA by explaining in clear terms how you can complete the LPA
Form 1. Not just a book about the what and how, it first sets out its
importance, why it is needed and the dire consequences of not having
one. It also dispels myths and misconceptions about LPAs. The book
provides interesting cases studies of real-life situations to illustrate
the function of the LPA and contains references to other countries and
how the LPA and equivalents operate in those jurisdictions.
