  Singapore HDB Flat's Power of Attorney : What is it?
   
  If you are selling, buying or subletting an HDB flat in Singapore, you may need to handle certain attendances or sign various legal documents personally. However, what if you are not in Singapore to do so, or have been hospitalised? In such a scenario, the best option is to appoint an Attorney to assist you during your absence.
   
  For signing of documents, these include:

 Option to Purchase
 Agreement for Lease
 Deed of Assignment
 Lease-in-Escrow
 Mortgage-in-Escrow
 Tenancy Agreement
   
  The Power of Attorney (POA) is required if you are unable to attend personally to these matters. To minimise inconvenience, it is advisable to obtain a POA before leaving Singapore.
   
  Notwithstanding the POA, POA cannot be used for the signing of the purchase or transfer Application Form and Statutory Declarations. These documents must be signed by you personally. If in doubt, check with HDB on their requirements.
