Are there any restrictions on who I can choose to be my Certificate Issuer?
In order to prevent a conflict of interest, a person is disqualified from giving an LPA Certificate if that person is:
A family member of the Donor
A Donee* of that power
A Donee* of any other lasting power of attorney which has been executed by the Donor (regardless if it has been revoked)
A family member of a Donee*
A director or an employee of a person other than an individual acting as a Donee*
A business partner or an employee of Donor and/or Donee
An owner, a director, a manager or an employee of any care facility where the Donor lives or is cared for when the instrument is executed
*‘Donee’ includes ‘Replacement Donee(s)’
