Enduring Power of Attorney Perth
Look after the best interest of your financial and legal matters
An EPA is a legal document in which you, the donor, grant authority to an attorney to make financial and / or property related decisions on your behalf. The lawyer is generally granted very broad powers, and is able to gain access to your bank accounts, pay your bills, and sell your property, if required.
For this reason it is important that you fully understand the nature of an EPA and trust the person you appoint as your attorney. Importantly, an EPA is able to survive your subsequent incapacity.
An EPA can come into effect immediately, or upon declaration of the State Administrative Tribunal. You can also appoint a single attorney, joint attorneys, or an attorney and a substitute attorney.
