Guide to submitting a Search Request / Certified True Copy (CTC) Application​

Search Request

  • Register of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)
  • Register of Court Orders appointing Deputies

2. Information on an LPA includes who the Donee(s) are and the types of powers they have. A Court Order search will contain information on the active Deputy(ies) (if any), and the date of the court order (if applicable).

3. For requests under the Mental Disorders and Treatment Act Order (before 1 Mar 2010) in respect of a person alleged to lack capacity (“P”), the Office of the Public Guardian does not have the updated information for this case. You may wish to file a request to inspect files at the Supreme Court.
