  • Enduring Power of Attorney for Care & Welfare

    An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) for personal care and welfare is a legal document that gives someone you trust the power to make decisions about your health and welfare if you’re unable to. We recommend you grab a cuppa as this may take 30 minutes to complete.
  • A) Your Personal Details

    In an EPA the person creating the EPA is referred to as the "Donor".
  • B) Previous EPAs

    If you have one (1) or more previous EPAs in relation to your personal care and welfare, you may choose to revoke them, or specify that they will continue. If you specify here that you want a previous EPA to continue, you need to make sure the authority to act under the previous EPA is not inconsistent with your Attorney(s) authority to act under this EPA, otherwise it may not be clear what each Attorney’s duties are. If the EPAs relate to different matters in relation to your personal care and welfare, this will not be a problem.
  • C) Attorney

    Under the EPA for your personal care and welfare, you may only appoint one Attorney to act at a time. Please provide the details of whom you wish to be your Attorney for your personal care and welfare in the first instance. Your Attorney can be anyone you trust to understand and respect your wishes and feelings and who is able to make decisions about your personal care and welfare, provided they are aged 20 or older, not bankrupt, and not mentally incapable themselves. Usually, this is a friend, family member, or work colleague. Preferably, your Attorney should live in the same area as you so that they can attend personally to your care and welfare.
