An enduring power of attorney is a legal document that you make to give another person the authority to make financial decisions on your behalf. The document: -is written when you are capable of making your own decisions -states when the person will have authority -can start at either of these times: --immediately and continue if you lose capacity --when you lose capacity
An enduring power of attorney is defined by the Powers of Attorney Act.
I recommend you speak to a lawyer about your specific situation and what type of of POA you need.
