A Donee’s appointment is cancelled if the:

• Donor or Donee passes away,

• Marriage between the Donor and Donee is dissolved or annulled unless the LPA itself specifically provides that it will not,

• Donee formally refuses the appointment,

• Donee lacks mental capacity,

• Donee becomes backrupt (for Donee with property and affairs powers only)

The power conferred by the LPA will be cancelled if the LPA appoints more than one Donee to act jointly, and the power to one of those Donees is cancelled.

However, the LPA remains valid if there is a replacement Donee appointed or if there is one or more surviving Donee(s) appointed to act jointly and severally on any matter.
