Document background
A Power of Attorney Declaration is essential when an individual needs to delegate decision-making authority to another person. Under Singapore law, this document enables the donor to specify the scope of powers granted, whether general or specific, and can be immediate or contingent upon future events. The declaration must conform to strict legal requirements including proper execution, witnessing, and potentially registration with the Office of Public Guardian. It's particularly relevant when the donor may be temporarily unavailable, traveling extensively, or planning for potential future incapacity.
