The Queensland approved forms for Enduring Powers of Attorney are:
1️⃣ The Short Form (Form 2); and
2️⃣ The Long Form (Form 3).
The Short Form is used by a Principal to appoint the same persons as the attorneys for both personal/health matters and for financial matters.
The Short Form can be used for:
➲ Separate appointment of Attorneys for personal/health matters only;
➲ Separate appointment of Attorneys for financial matters only; or
➲ Concurrent appointment of Attorneys for both personal/health matters and financial matters (where the same persons are appointed as Attorneys).
The Long Form can be used only for the concurrent appointment of different Attorneys for personal/health matters and financial matters.
In Queensland, the legislation governing the creation of Enduring Powers of Attorney is the Powers of Attorney Act 1998 (QLD).

Our intelligent online questionnaire adapts to your answers and only asks relevant questions.
Simply follow the guidance and enter the requested information about your matter.
The information is then sent to our back-end legal document generation engine, which follows a matrix of algorithms to make decisions about what should be in your legal document, just as an expert human lawyer would do.
The engine then draws from an enormous body of content to assemble a top-tier quality legal document that’s tailored to your situation + requirements.
Our Embedded Lawyer-Logic™ technology includes numerous quality control checks + automatic error-correction, massively reducing the risk of human error.
The finished document is then emailed to you in PDF format, ready to print and sign.

Our [Self-Service] legal documents are designed to be completed "without the intervention of a lawyer".
This approach will be appropriate for the majority of routine legal matters, where you are experienced and have learnt what needs to be considered and have gained experience in using our 24/7 online document portal to generate your legal documents instantly.
Some routine matters maybe totally new to you (meaning that you will have questions and we recommend you select our [Lawyer-Assisted] service).
Other matters maybe unusually complex, or of such high-value or risk that involving our legal team is the prudent course to take.
For these matters we recommend you select our [Full Service] option.

It was once said:
It would take the combined processing power of every computer in the world thousands of years to crack 4096-bit encryption.
In a more general context (outside of encrypted secure website traffic/data) it has also been said:
Data with 4096-bit encryption (only protected by a password) could still be compromised within seconds.
How? Human error.
Easy pass-phrase, written down password, re-used password... etc. basically, always be on the lookout for the weakest link.
Trust the technology, but never trust the weak link - the user!
