Yes. A Donee/Donees can be appointed by a Donor to act in the two broad areas of personal welfare and property & affairs matters. A Donee is able to transact on a Donor’s behalf only when the Donor has been certified by a registered medical practitioner to have lost mental capacity. A Lasting Power of Attorney is particularly important for patients with mild dementia, in order to respect their autonomy in the event of a loss of mental capacity. GPs, who have often formed bonds of trust with their patients, can play a crucial role in facilitating this process for their patients.
