Speakers

Transcript

12 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.

Mr Masagos Zulkifli B M M: The number of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) made increased from 350,000 in August 2025 to 410,000 in January 2026.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development 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.
