Enduring Power of Attorney
The Small Business Lawyer
Expert and practical advice for your small business.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document appointing an attorney to make personal/health and/or financial decisions for you. The person who makes an Enduring Power of Attorney is referred to as the “Principal.”
It is important to carefully consider who you appoint as your attorney. An attorney is required to act in the best interests of the principal. The duties and obligations of an attorney are contained in the Powers of Attorney Act 1998 (Qld). If an attorney is in breach of their duties, they may be subject to criminal liability, their removal as an attorney and payment of compensation.
Our team at The Small Business Lawyer can assist you with drafting and executing your Enduring Power of Attorney for a competitive fixed fee. We may also provide you with advice if you are concerned that an attorney may not be complying with their duties and obligations.
