To make an enduring power of attorney valid After the donor is mentally incapacitated, registration is required. Once the lawyer finds evidence that the donor has become mentally incapacitated, it must be registered immediately.

Is the Power of Attorney valid if not registered?

Unlike EPA, LPA is not valid unless registered. Alternatively, you can keep your EPA but make and register an LPA to handle your personal benefits in case you lose mental capacity. A durable power of attorney cannot be used to look after someone’s personal welfare.

When must an enduring power of attorney be registered?

Attorney must be registered with EPA If the donor starts to lose mental capacity. If there is more than one attorney listed in the EPA, check to see if they are designated as joint or joint and separate actions. If the attorneys are appointed to act jointly, they will need to apply together to register an EPA.
