Why does the signing order matter for an LPA?

An LPA must be signed in a set order: first you (the donor), then your certificate provider, then your attorneys and any replacement attorneys. Signatures that need a witness must be witnessed, and an attorney cannot witness your signature. If the order is wrong, the Office of the Public Guardian will not register it. We include clear instructions with your documents.
