Yes, in Singapore, your appointment as an Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) donee is cancelled when:
- the donor or you dies;
- the donor or you becomes a bankrupt;
- you are a trust company whose licence has lapsed or been revoked or is liquidated, wound up, dissolved or under judicial management;
- the marriage between the donor and you is dissolved or annulled unless the LPA itself specifically provides that it will not;
- you formally refuse the appointment of being a donee; or
- you lack mental capacity
Your power given by the LPA will also be cancelled if more than one donee were appointed to act jointly and one of the donees' appointment is cancelled. However, your power given by the LPA remains valid if a replacement donee is appointed in the LPA or there is one or more surviving donees appointed to act jointly and severally on any matter.
