Lasting Powers of Attorney have replaced Enduring Powers of Attorney, although valid Enduring Powers of Attorney made before 1st October 2007 are valid and can still be used.For a Lasting Power of Attorney to be valid, the donor must fully understand the implications of the arrangement at the time of making it. A certificate provider (someone who has known the donor for at least two years or someone with specialist skills in assessing if a person is incapacitated) will need to sign a certificate to say that he or she is aware of the implications and that nobody is pressurising them into making a lasting power of attorney.
The attorney must be at least 18 years old and must not be bankrupt if appointed to make decisions about a person’s property and money. More than one attorney can be appointed at the same time.
