Power of Attorney Checklist Form

You should give an Enduring Power of Attorney to someone you trust. The Power of Attorney will let your Attorney sign documents on your behalf and will remain in force even if you have lost mental capacity. Your elected Attorney would then be responsible for managing your affairs for you and your family.

I caution that the document is one of ultimate trust because it will allow your Attorney to operate your bank accounts and transfer your land. Therefore it should only be given to someone you trust implicitly.

If you want to you can impose conditions on the circumstances in which the Power of Attorney will operate.

After appointing your main Attorney, you should also give consideration to appointing an alternate Attorney if your main Attorney dies or becomes totally mentally or physically incapacitated. The alternate Attorney could be one or more of your children that are over the age of 18 years. Clients often request that more than one child be appointed to avoid any ill feeling in the family and as a "check and balance" on the use of the power by the Attorney/s.

Please advise whether you would like your Power of Attorney registered. This simply means that the document would be put on a public register and would reduce any allegation of forgery. A Power of Attorney does not have to be registered to be valid.
