  • Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) for Property

    Your EPA in relation to PROPERTY authorises the Attorney that you, the donor, have appointed to make decisions on your behalf about your property affairs, particularly when you cannot do so for yourself because you have become mentally incapable. Your attorney can act for you while you are mentally capable if you authorise them to do so. We recommend you grab a cuppa as it may take 30 minutes to complete this questionnaire.
  • A) Your Personal Details

    In an EPA the person creating the EPA is referred to as the "Donor".
  • B) Previous Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA)

    If you have 1 or more previous EPAs in relation to your property, you may choose to revoke them, or specify below that 1 or more of them will continue. If you specify 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 things, this will not be a problem.
  • C) Attorney(s)

    Under the EPA for property you can appoint one (1) or more Attorneys to act for you on property matters. These can be individuals or a trustee corporation. This form allows for two (2) Attorneys, but you can appoint more if you wish. An Attorney must be at least 20 years old and not bankrupt or mentally incapable themselves or be a trustee corporation. Further down the form you are able to appoint Successor Attorneys that will act only if one of your Attorneys is unable to act.
