An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) is a legal document that appointed someone to manage a person’s financial affairs, continuing even after the person lost mental capacity.
EPAs made before 1 October 2007 remain valid but can no longer be created. They must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian when the donor is losing or has lost capacity.
Legal Reference:
Governed by the Enduring Powers of Attorney Act 1985, with transitional provisions under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
