Description

An Enduring Power of Attorney is an important legal document you can use to appoint someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. If you are the one passing the authority to someone else you are called the donor. The person you pass the authority to is called the attorney. An Enduring Power of Attorney is “enduring” because an attorney’s power continues in force even if, or comes into effect after, the donor becomes mentally incapacitated.
