Enduring power of attorney: acting as an attorney
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.
