This automated process follows the format of the Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) form prescribed by the government of South Australia.

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

An Enduring Power of Attorney can only be used to appoint Attorneys/Donees as decision-makers for financial matters: a separate Advance Care Directive (which replaces Enduring Powers of Guardianship in SA) is required for appointing decision-makers for personal and health matters.

Document Overview:

1️⃣ The donor can specify conditions and limitations on the donees’ authority;

2️⃣ Details for prescribed witnesses can be inserted in the form if known;

3️⃣ The donee must sign for the appointment to be effective; and

4️⃣ Choose when the power to make decisions starts – ie: immediately; or in the event of the donor’s subsequent legal incapacity.

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.

Meeting with James was a pleasure, I experienced something truly exceptional, and I can't help but share my enthusiasm through this review. The service I received was impeccable. James was not only highly professional but also genuinely friendly, making me feel like a valued client throughout that moment. He was very knowledgeable and provided me with valuable information. His attention to detail was not limited, yet without sacrificing substance for style. In conclusion, our meeting provided an unforgettable experience, and the knowledge that I received was something truly remarkable. Highly recommended.

This thought-provoking article underscores the often overlooked yet profoundly important aspect of estate planning – the ethical will or legacy letter – adding depth and significance to the process of passing down not just assets, but personal values and wisdom.

Thanks for this FREE Titan Lawyer [AI] Demo, I think it was a useful and impressive exercise. Output: There was nothing in the output that I would disagree with. It has correctly identified some lack of specifics (which was on purpose due to the intra-group context). No hallucinations. There is no deficiency in the terms that Titan Lawyer failed to see. But on the other hand, I do not know what I don't know ...

Titan Lawyer [AI] Demo Use case: In terms of workflow and getting something back that is actionable, I think this works. It would support me in turning around the document. Would like to play with it some more if I can think of documents and use cases to throw at it.

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!

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.
