Yes the power of attorney cannot be used for the signing of the application forms, statutory declarations, and/or any other undertakings. These must be signed by you personally.

Be careful for statutory declarations, I think you must execute them in the presence of a commissioner of oaths or someone like that. Otherwise if you are overseas already, you have to go to the Singapore embassy to do it in front of the high commissioner/ambassador, which I think not cheap lor.

Erm, actually dun worry lah, you are paying the lawyer to do this power of attorney, so I am sure s/he will advise you what that person can do or cannot do on your behalf, so that you can see to all these details before you leave.

BTW never appoint your agent for power of attorney; always use your spouse or a close relative.

Really? Doesn't power of attorney means that person's signature is as good as yours. Yes, that person may have to go down to HDB personally to sign, but you shouldn't have to-- else it's LPPL right?
