This automated process follows the format of the Enduring Power of Attorney form prescribed by the government of the Australian Capital Territory.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is not cancelled if the principal loses capacity.

An Enduring Power of Attorney can be used to appoint attorneys as decision makers for property matters, personal care matters, health care matters and/or medical research matters.

It can also be used to authorise attorneys in respect of refusal or withdrawal of medical treatment.

Document Overview:

The principal can:

1️⃣ Appoint up to five eligible attorneys and up to five eligible substitute attorneys;

2️⃣ Choose for the enduring power of attorney to be made in contemplation of marriage, civil union or civil partnership;

3️⃣ Specify conditions and limitations on the attorneys’ authority;

4️⃣ Sign personally or direct another person to sign;

5️⃣ Details for prescribed witnesses can be inserted in the form if known; and

6️⃣ Choose when the power to make decisions for property matters starts – i.e.: immediately; when the principal loses capacity; or from a specified time, circumstance or occasion.

EPOA's are essential for Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Members

If you are a member of a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and proceed to and lose your legal decision making capacity you will encounter expensive and complex legal issues if you don't have an EPOA already in place.

The Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) (SISA) allows an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) to act on behalf of a member.

James has been great to work with. I called him on a Monday and by Tuesday he had a formal [19-Page] Concerns Notice sent to a person defaming me and my business. He stayed in touch throughout the day, kept me updated regularly and was diligent to ensure we were exercising all of my rights under the law. Thanks, James!

We needed a really good lawyer and after doing our research we decided to contact Blue Ocean Law Group. James runs a very efficient service and has extensive knowledge of Defamation Law. Nothing was a problem. James would follow up with me regarding issues that had arisen. He dealt with each issue in a professional and ethical manner. James would explain every detail on the phone and the process could not have been easier!

Blue Ocean Law Group's website has plenty of information in easy, layman's language that explains how Defamation Law works in Australia and from there, it was really easy to book an appointment online. James is a thoroughly professional Lawyer and it was a pleasure dealing with him. Keep up the good work, James! Cheers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Translated by Google) Lawyer James Ford was the best. He assisted me all the way through a dispute with a tenant who tried his best to extort money from the landlord due to a conflict with another tenant. James is reliable in his profession amongst lawyers in this field ... James patiently guided me, a landlord whose English is my second language, throughout the whole process ... It was because of his command that my case was turned from a disadvantage to an advantage. His charges are also very reasonable. So if you are a landlord I would highly recommend 'James Ford' to you.

Our case was unique. My client was based in Thailand and we needed a lawyer in Australia. After searching several firms in NSW we found Blue Ocean Law Group. James was very helpful. He explained the matter in detail via emails and on several occasions over the phone to us in Thailand. The resources on the firm's website were also very helpful in providing additional information for us. I would highly recommend James and will use him again if we need a lawyer in Australia.

General FAQ

How do I provide for care of my Pet/s if I lose capacity?

Long-term Care for your Pet/s

✅ If you lose capacity …

Formal Arrangements

Plan A ➲ EPOA

Ensure you are able to keep your Pet/s with you [as long as possible] by providing specific written directions ahead of time and including financial provision for the support of yourself, your Pet/s long-term care, maintenance, health + pet insurance + potentially your Pet/s carer in your Enduring Power of Attorney [EPOA] / NT Advance Person Plan.

Informal Arrangements

Plan B ➲ Friends or Family

Plan C ➲ RSPCA

Think of setting up an informal arrangement with the RSPCA as a back-up plan just in case for some reason your friends or family circumstances change and they are no longer in a suitable position to take on the responsibility for long-term care of your Pet/s.
