This practice note outlines the requirements for enduring powers of attorney (EPAs).
Since 1 October 2007, it has not been possible to create new EPAs but EPAs created before 1 October 2007 continue to be valid. Lasting powers of attorney (LPAs) replaced EPAs from 1 October 2007. For more information on LPAs, see Practice note, Lasting powers of attorney: overview.
