什么是EPA?请赐教
Why you need an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA)Do you have an Enduring Power of Attorney? (EPA)Do you feel confident that others will know how to look after you and your property if you become unable to do so yourself? There may come a time through an accident, serious illness or incapacity, when you become unable to make or communicate decisions yourself.
Many people assume that if they lose the ability to make decisions for themselves, their partner or a close relative will legally be able to make decisions for them. In fact, the law doesn’t work like that.
The law, specifically the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988 (PPPR Act) allows for you to plan ahead by making what’s called an enduring power of attorney – or “EPA” – where you give someone you trust the power to make decisions for you if you become unable to make them yourself.
An EPA does not replace any people you’ve chosen as executor or beneficiary in your Will. Your EPA
is separate from your Will. On your death the EPA has no further authority and your Will takes effect instead.
为什么需要持久授权书 (EPA) 您有持久授权书吗? (EPA) 如果您自己无法照顾您和您的财产,您是否有信心其他人会知道如何照顾您和您的财产?在发生事故、严重疾病或丧失行为能力时,您可能会无法自己做出决定或传达决定。
许多人认为,如果他们失去了为自己做决定的能力,他们的伴侣或近亲将合法地为他们做决定。事实上,法律并不是这样运作的。 法律,特别是 1988 年《个人和财产权利保护法》(PPPR 法)允许您通过制定所谓的持久授权书(或“EPA”)来提前计划,即在您无法自己做决定时,您授予您信任的人为您做决定的权力。
EPA 不会取代您在遗嘱中选择的执行人或受益人的任何人。您的 EPA 与您的遗嘱是分开的。当您去世后,EPA 不再具有任何效力,而由您的遗嘱代替生效。
