I recently registered an LPA that had been made some years ago. Upon checking it prior to registration, I found that one of the attorneys had incorrectly completed his signature page (I believe that he had put his date of birth rather than date of signing of the LPA). Therefore we had to get his page resigned.
I checked with the OPG as to whether this would cause a problem – given that this would mean that the time between the donor and the attorney signing would be measured in years. I was told this wouldn’t be a problem and therefore I got the page resigned and the registration went through without query.
