If you have an Enduring Power of Attorney, well done you have been prepared for a while. However, this may not be sufficient anymore and you should reconsider what you might need. For more information get in touch with our team on 0330 912 8338.

Although Enduring Powers of Attorney have now been replaced by new legal documents called Lasting Powers of Attorney, they still work if you have one. However, you should consider re-evaluating your situation.

Enduring Powers of Attorney don’t cover issues of health and welfare, so you should think about setting up a Health and Welfare Lasting Powers of Attorney alongside your Enduring Power of Attorney to cover all bases. For more advice or information get in touch with our team today on 0330 912 8338.

Enduring Powers of Attorney FAQs

What is an Enduring Power of Attorney?

Rather like an LPA for property and finances, an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) is a document appointing an ‘attorney’ giving them authority to manage the property and financial affairs of the person who created the EPA (the ‘donor’). EPAs do not cater for health/welfare.

In the case of an EPA, if the donor becomes unable to make decisions relating to their finances/property, the EPA must be registered at: https://www.gov.uk/enduring-power-attorney-duties/register-an-enduring-power-of-attorney before it can be used (or, if the EPA is already in use, it must be registered after the donor becomes mentally incapable, before it can continue to be used).

Are EPAs still valid?

Yes. Whether it is registered or unregistered, if the EPA was made before October 2007, an EPA is still valid to use.

Do I need to register an EPA?

An attorney must register an EPA if the donor loses capacity.
