If there is a name change you must tell OPG. A copy of the marriage license or deed poll showing the new name must be sent.
If you or your attorney change address you must tell OPG. In this case you do not need to send any documents to show this.
If one of your attorneys dies you must tell OPG and send them the original LPA and any and all certified copies. If your attorneys are able to make decisions ‘jointly and severally’ then OPG will update the LPA and return it. Otherwise, the LPA will be cancelled as the named attorneys will no longer to be able to make a joint decision.
