Common Power of Attorney Questions

An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal arrangement that allows you to appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf if you lose capacity to make certain decisions in the future.

No. An EPA is not only age-related. The existing Devaney page correctly notes that mental incapacity can occur for different reasons and may be temporary or permanent. (devaney.ie)

An enduring power of attorney (EPA) enables you to choose a person (called an attorney) to manage your property and affairs in the event of your becoming mentally incapable of doing so.

An EPA is not an age-related document. Mental incapacity can occur for many reasons and can be temporary or permanent. Incapacity can occur as a result of a stroke, an acquired brain injury or other illnesses which affect mental capacity.

The procedure for creating and registering an EPA has inbuilt safeguards to ensure that your attorney cannot take control of your affairs until you have been medically certified as being mentally incapacitated.

The creation of an EPA has the great advantage that you choose the person/s who will take over control and management of your affairs; in the absence of an EPA a person must be made a Ward of Court in the event of mental incapacity and the Court will retain significant control of the person’s affairs.

You should choose someone you trust, who understands your wishes and is capable of taking the responsibility seriously. This may be a family member, close friend or another suitable person.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is designed for a future situation where you lose capacity to make certain decisions. The process includes safeguards before it can be used.

Yes. The Decision Support Service provides information and support for people making an Enduring Power of Attoney. (decisionsupportservice.ie)

An Enduring Power of Attorney deals with decisions during your lifetime if you lose capacity. 

A Will deals with what happens to your estate after your death. 

Many people consider both as part of wider future planning.
