What decisions can my Enduring Power of Attorney make?

28 December 2023

The decisions your attorney can make will depend on the type of attorney you have chosen, as well as whether you include any extra restrictions in the document.

An Enduring Power of Attorney (financial) means your attorney can make decisions about your financial or property affairs. This includes any legal matters that relate to them.

An Enduring Power of Attorney (personal) means your attorney can make decisions about your care and personal welfare. This doesn’t include medical decisions.
