What happens to LPAs that were registered prior to the launch of OPGO?

For LPAs that were registered in hardcopy prior to the launch of OPGO, an electronic copy of the hardcopy registered LPA will be available in OPGO. OPG will send a notice to all existing donors and donees to verify the accuracy of the electronic copy.
If there are any disparities or inconsistencies, Donors and Donees (if their Donor has lost mental capacity) must notify the Public Guardian within 90 days of the date of notice.
If the Donor or Donee does not notify the Public Guardian, the Donor’s electronic copy of the LPA will be treated as being free from error and as the LPA after the 90-day period. All subsequent updates to an LPA will be made on the electronic copy in OPGO.
