We Guarantee A Legally Binding Appointment
In NSW, an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) has strict legal requirements, including being witnessed by a qualified lawyer. A DIY kit or an improperly signed document can be declared invalid by banks & government bodies.
Our expert lawyers eliminate that risk. We draft & witness your EPOA to be clear, unambiguous, & fully compliant with NSW law. This ensures your appointment is legally binding & will be accepted when your family needs it most.
Appoint Someone You Trust, Or a Tribunal Will
If you lose capacity without a valid EPOA, your assets can be frozen. No one—not even your spouse—has the automatic right to manage your finances or sell property on your behalf.
Your family would be forced into a stressful & costly application to a tribunal to be appointed as your financial manager. An EPOA puts you in control, saving your loved ones from an arduous legal process & ensuring your affairs are managed by someone you personally trust.

NSW Enduring Power of Attorney FAQs
What is an Enduring Power of Attorney?
An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint a trusted person to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf, even if you later lose mental capacity.
What decisions can my attorney make?
Your attorney can manage your financial affairs, including bank accounts, paying bills, managing investments, and buying or selling property, subject to any limits you set.
What is the difference between a General Power of Attorney and an Enduring Power of Attorney?
A General Power of Attorney is usually temporary and becomes invalid if you lose capacity. An Enduring Power of Attorney continues to operate after you lose capacity.
Can my attorney make health or lifestyle decisions for me?
No. An Enduring Power of Attorney only covers financial and legal matters. Health and lifestyle decisions require an Appointment of Enduring Guardian.
When does an Enduring Power of Attorney start?
You can choose when it begins, such as immediately, on a specific date, or only if a doctor certifies that you have lost decision-making capacity.
Who can I appoint as my attorney?
You may appoint any trusted person over the age of 18, such as a spouse, adult child, close friend, or professional adviser.
Can I appoint more than one attorney?
Yes. You can appoint multiple attorneys and decide whether they must act together or can act independently.
Why can’t I wait until I need one to make it?
You can only make an Enduring Power of Attorney while you have full mental capacity. If capacity is lost, it may be too late to create one.
What happens if I lose capacity without an Enduring Power of Attorney?
No one automatically has the authority to manage your finances. A family member may need to apply to a tribunal for a financial manager to be appointed.
Do I need a lawyer to prepare an Enduring Power of Attorney?
Yes. The document must be properly explained and witnessed by a qualified legal professional to be legally valid.
Can I put limits on my attorney’s powers?
You can include specific instructions or restrictions, such as limiting access to certain assets or preventing particular financial decisions.
Does my attorney have to accept the appointment?
Yes. The person you appoint must formally accept the role by signing the document in the presence of a witness.
Can my attorney change my Will?
No. An attorney does not have the authority to make or change your Will.
How can I revoke an Enduring Power of Attorney?
You can revoke it at any time while you still have mental capacity, provided the revocation is made in writing and your attorney is notified.
Does an Enduring Power of Attorney need to be registered?
It only needs to be registered if your attorney will deal with real estate on your behalf, although registration can provide added security.
What duties does an attorney have?
An attorney must act honestly, diligently, and in your best interests, keep your finances separate, and maintain accurate records.
What happens if my attorney can no longer act?
If your attorney dies or loses capacity, their role ends. Appointing a substitute attorney can help ensure continuity.
