An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) is a legal arrangement that enables appointed individuals (attorneys) to manage a donor’s financial and property matters when the donor can no longer make decisions due to mental incapacity.
While EPAs can no longer be created, those made before October 2007 remain valid. To take effect, these must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
For assistance with the process, complete the form, and a member of our team will be in touch.
