Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, ss 18, 98
Even if you do give your attorney a general power to make decisions about all kinds of issues, there are some types of decisions the law says your attorney can’t legally make for you. It says they can’t:
make decisions for you about getting married or divorced, or adopting out your children
agree to you having electro-convulsive treatment (ECT) or brain surgery, or being part of medical experiments
refuse to allow you to have standard medical treatment when it’s necessary.
