When a father is critically ill and his children can’t agree on what decisions to make, conflict, confusion, and heartbreak often follow - but it doesn’t have to be this way. Advance Care Planning (ACP) and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can help ensure that someone trusted and specifically chosen is empowered to make decisions on their behalf. As Dr Sanjeev shares from experience, these conversations matter - and having them early can make all the difference. 

If you are generally healthy and well, you can now conveniently make your ACP online using the myACP tool, without needing to meet an ACP facilitator in person! Plus, the LPA Form 1 application fee is waived for Singaporeans until the end of Mar 2026, so don’t wait until it’s too late!
