Powers of Attorney

An instrument created by a person who entrusts someone to act on his behalf is called a Power of Attorney.

The person who creates such an instrument is called the Donor and the person who receives the authority to act is called the Donee.

A Power of Attorney which is created under Section 48 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act (CLPA) may be deposited at the Supreme Court pursuant to Order 60 of the Rules of Court.

Powers of Attorney deposited in the court are open for public inspection subject to the payment of a prescribed fee.


Requirement to file a Power of Attorney
When a person entrusts someone to act on his behalf for some legal transaction, such as the buying or selling of property, he is required to create a Power of Attorney authorising the donee to act.


Creation of Power of Attorney
As the creation of a Power of Attorney entails legal procedure and issues of law, one is advised to engage a lawyer.


Stamp fees for deposit of Powers of Attorney

Section 48 of the CLPA : S$1.50 and an additional S$0.80 per page
