Is an Enduring Power of Attorney still valid?
If you have made and signed an Enduring Power of Attorney before 1st October 2007, it should still be a valid document. Since 1st October 2007, it is no longer possible to make an Enduring Power of Attorney as they were replaced by Lasting Powers of Attorney. The documents are governed by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and you must have the necessary capacity to make the document at that time.
