Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA)

This arrangement gives authority to a person you know and trust, to act on your behalf if you lose the capacity to make certain decisions in the future.

If you do not currently need support, but would like to plan ahead, you can make an enduring power of attorney. This arrangement lets you appoint someone you trust as your attorney. The attorney’s role is to act on your behalf to make certain decisions if you are unable to in the future. An attorney does not need to be a lawyer.
