Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 6 September 2007

Alert over powers of attorney

• I WISH to draw your readers’ attention to the imminent withdrawal of Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA) from the end of September.
Many readers will know of the significant benefits of signing an EPA which allows them to appoint a person of their own choice as their attorney(s) to manage their property and finances.
From the October 1 it will no longer be possible to sign and EPA. Instead you will be obliged to complete a 25-page form in order to complete a Lasting Power of Attorney at a significantly increased cost.
We are therefore urging clients to sign an EPA before that date. Such Enduring Powers of Attorney remain valid after the end of the month provided they are signed before October 1.
