On the LifeSG Form 1, you, as the main applicant, has to indicate that your spouse is mentally incapacitated and assist in obtaining the donee’s/ deputy’s consent for your mentally incapacitated spouse. This is also applicable to any family members who are mentally incapacitated too.

Mentally-incapacitated individuals require either a (i) Donee(s) under the Registered Lasting Power of Attorney; or (ii) Deput(ies) under the Mental Incapacity Act to provide consent on their behalf.

For those with more than 1 authorised representative, please ensure that all of them provide their consent on behalf of the individual. Please note that only SC, PR or FIN holder authorised representatives (e.g. FIN holder donee) can consent on behalf of the individual.

If your spouse has no appointed donee or deputy, you may indicate that the individual is unable to provide their consent in LifeSG Form 1. You will receive a call from HOMES to verify the status of the individual.
