If you are concerned whether for family or personal reasons or otherwise, that you may not have the ability to manage your legal affairs in the future, you may want to consider having an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) in place.
What is an EPA?
An EPA is a legal document which allows you to choose a specific person who will look after both your personal and financial affairs should you lose the mental capacity to do so. The person you choose to look after your affairs should you become mentally incapable to do so at a future date is deemed an “attorney”. You may choose more than one attorney who can act alone or jointly with another.
