Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) Form 1 applications will be made free of charge for all Singaporeans after the current waiver of filing fee ends on March 31, announced Minister of State for Social and Family Development Goh Pei Ming on Thursday (March 5).
Goh, who is also Minister of State for Home Affairs, was responding to a parliamentary question by Member of Parliament Yip Hon Weng.
Yip, who represents Yio Chu Kang SMC, had asked if the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) had completed its consideration of the suggestion to further extend the waiver of the LPA Form 1 filling fee for Singaporeans beyond March 31.
He also asked for an update on the number and percentage of Singaporeans above the age of 65 who have registered a LPA.
Form 1 is for donors who wish to grant donee(s) general powers with basic restrictions.
