Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, ss 95A, 104–106
An enduring power of attorney stops having any effect if:
you cancel (revoke) the EPA or the attorney’s appointment under the EPA while you have “mental capacity”, by giving a written notice to the attorney (if you’ve made a new EPA that revokes the earlier one, you can simply give a copy of the new EPA to the old attorney)
you die (in other words, your attorney has no ongoing power to deal with your estate (your property) after you die)
the attorney states in writing that they no longer want to act as your attorney, through a “notice of disclaimer”
your attorney dies, loses mental capacity, or goes bankrupt
you had appointed two or more joint attorneys, and one of them dies, goes bankrupt or loses their own mental capacity (attorneys appointed to act “jointly” must always decide and act together, so a single attorney can’t validly continue on their own; by contrast attorneys appointed “severally” can decide and act separately, and so one of them can continue on their own)
the Family Court cancels the EPA (see the next heading).
