Updated by MSF

The difference in LPA Form 1 and 2 are as follows:


LPA Form 1: For Donors who wish to grant Donee(s) general powers with basic restrictions.

LPA Form 2: For Donors who wish to grant Donee(s) customised powers. The clauses in the LPA Form 2 have to be drafted by a lawyer*.


98% of Singapore Citizens who have made an LPA used the LPA Form 1.

*This refers to a Singapore solicitor qualified to practise Singapore law in a Singapore law practice.​​​​

Access OPGO to make your LPA.


You may submit a hardcopy LPA only under the exception situations​ listed in Section 11(2a) of the MCA. The acceptance of hardcopy LPAs is subject to the Public Guardian’s approval. Please use the 2022 version of the hardcopy LPA form in your submission; older versions of the form may be rejected by OPG.


Should you require further assistance on making an LPA online via OPGO, please approach your Donee(s) or family members for help. Alternatively, you may direct your enquiry to the OPG hotline at 1800-111-2222, or visit any ServiceSG centre.
