enduring powers of attorney
The EPOA's relate to both the Care and Welfare and Property of the Donor.
Both types of EPOA are important to give the Donor peace of mind and also ensure that the important people in their lives know how they can support and care for the Donor. We recommend this happens voluntarily before the Donor no longer has capacity and an application has to be made to the Family Court.
IT IS YOUR HUMAN RIGHT TO DEAL WITH YOUR PROPERTY AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR WELFARE. The NZ Courts will not easily allow someone else to make those decisions for you!
The law changes on 16 March 2017 with the forms for Enduring Powers of Attorney allow YOU to choose someone you trust to make those decisions for you!
