Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, ss 97, 98
It’s up to you to decide how much power your attorney will have. When you create the EPA you can give them a general power to deal with all issues, or you can restrict their powers to certain areas (but there are some decisions a care and welfare attorney can’t make, no matter what you say in your EPA, see the next heading).
For example, when you create a property EPA you might give the attorney authority only to deal with your house, rather than all your money and property.
You can place specific conditions and restrictions on the EPA – for example, your property EPA might specify that your attorney can borrow only up to a certain limit.
