Ep 35. When should the power under my Enduring Power of Attorney start?

When setting up an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA), one of the most critical decisions you'll need to make is determining when the authority of your attorney should begin. Many clients assume that an EPOA only takes effect when they become incapacitated, but this isn't always the case. At Vicca Law, we typically recommend that an EPOA activates only when a medical practitioner certifies incapacity, providing an extra layer of security. However, in some circumstances an immediate appointment may be appropriate. In this episode of the Vicca Law Podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of each option and help you make an informed decision about when your EPOA should come into effect.

Listen to the full episode to learn more about the critical considerations for setting up your Enduring Power of Attorney and ensure your wishes are clearly protected.
