The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) requires the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to state on the form that the donor intended it to be a deed.

Due to an accidental omission by MSF, the electronic LPAs certified between 14 Nov 2022 and 4 Jan 2024 did not state this. MSF is therefore amending the MCA to validate these LPAs as deeds.

More information can be found in MSF’s press release.
