Important Role of the LPA Certificate Issuer
The LPA certificate issuer signs on the LPA Form as a witness for the Donor, to certify that the Donor has the mental capacity to make an LPA - he understands the purpose of the LPA and the scope of authority granted to Donees.
The LPA certificate issuer also ensures that there is no fraud or undue influence used to induce the Donor to make the LPA.
