Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) – In-Depth Overview

Understand the role and importance of an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA).

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) is a critical legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make property and financial decisions on your behalf — ensuring that your affairs are managed even if you lose capacity.

This comprehensive guide explains the key aspects of an EPOA, including:

  • What an Enduring Power of Attorney is and how it differs from an Ordinary Power of Attorney.

  • The types of attorney appointments, including sole, joint, and joint and several.

  • The benefits of appointing a substitute attorney.

  • Who can create and act under an EPOA.

  • Important considerations when choosing your attorney to protect your interests.

  • When an EPOA comes into effect — either immediately or upon loss of capacity.

  • How to properly store and manage your EPOA document.

  • The process of revoking or updating an EPOA.

Whether you're planning ahead for peace of mind or ensuring your estate is properly protected, understanding the full scope of an Enduring Power of Attorney is essential.
