Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, s 95(3)
Choosing your decision-maker (“attorney”) under an EPA is an important decision and you should choose carefully. Naturally, people often choose a family member or close friend as their EPA attorney. Whoever you choose you need to be confident that you can trust them completely and that they’ll always act in your best interests. You should feel sure they would make decisions that would reflect your own views.
Your attorney will also need to have the skills necessary for managing your affairs. If they’re going to be dealing with your property, they’ll need to be capable of keeping proper records and accounts.
