Before acting on the Donor's behalf, the Donee is required to obtain a medical report from a registered medical practitioner, certifying that the Donor lacks mental capacity to make personal welfare and/or property and affairs decisions. A Donor may restrict the scope or exclude the types of decisions that a Donee may make. E.g. the Donor appointing a Donee for property & affairs matters may state in an LPA Form 2 that the Donee cannot make any decisions on investments. There are certain decisions which Donees cannot make on Donor’s behalf. These are: * Consenting to Marriage * Consenting to touching of a sexual nature * Consenting to divorce on the basis of three years’ separation * Consenting to a making of an adoption order * Adopting or renouncing a religion * Receiving treatment for change of gender * Consenting or revoking consent to treatment for sexual sterilisation * Consenting or revoking consent to abortion * Registering or withdrawing an objection regarding the removal of an organ from any person upon death * Making or revoking an Advanced Medical Directive * Making or revoking a gift of a body or any part of a body
