A certificate provider cannot be a paid employee of the attorney/s. I have always either got, a good friend of the donor or another firm to be the certificate provider. Thinking practically, if the OPG has registered the LPA then i don’t think that the attorneys should face any problems using it. However, to cover yourself (just in case), i would do a new LPA. Of course, the firm will have to pay the OPG fee. Hope this helps
