Enduring power of attorney: acting as an attorney

Skip contents

When there's more than one attorney

Check the enduring power of attorney (EPA) form to find out how many attorneys have been appointed.

If there바카라 사이트™s more than one attorney, check whether you must make decisions:

  • separately or together (sometimes called 바카라 사이트˜jointly and severally바카라 사이트™), which means you can make decisions on your own or with other attorneys
  • together (sometimes called 바카라 사이트˜jointly바카라 사이트™), which means you and all the other attorneys have to agree on a decision

The donor may give instructions for you to make some decisions 바카라 사이트˜jointly바카라 사이트™ and others 바카라 사이트˜jointly and severally바카라 사이트™.

Attorneys who are appointed jointly must all agree or they cannot make the decision.

Joint attorneys

If you바카라 사이트™re appointed jointly with another attorney or attorneys and one of you stops being an attorney, the enduring power of attorney ends automatically.

You바카라 사이트™ll need to find another way to help the donor make decisions.
