Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Social and Family Development (a) whether the take-up rate for the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) has increased since August 2025; and (b) whether the Government will consider extending the deadline for the fee waiver for registration of LPA Form 1 applications.

Answer

1       The number of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) made increased from 350,000 in August 2025 to 410,000 in January 2026.

2       MSF has no updates at the moment on a further extension of the waiver of LPA Form 1 fees. We encourage all Singaporeans to make their LPA as soon as possible, to take advantage of the waiver before it expires on 31 Mar 2026.
