Note: ‘Paid carer’ does not mean someone receiving a carer's pension or similar benefit, so you are free to choose
someone who is receiving such a benefit for looking after you.

Should | pay my attorney?

You do not need to pay your attorney for the power to be effective. Normally
payment is not made unless a trust company is acting as attorney.

When does the attorney's power begin?

With personal/health matters, your attorney's power to make decisions does not
begin until (if ever) you are incapable of understanding the nature and
foreseeing the effects of a decision, and of communicating that decision.

With financial matters, you may nominate when your attorney's power is to
begin. If you do not name a date or an occasion, it begins immediately. On the
other hand, if you lose the capacity to make such decisions before the date or
occasion you name, the power begins at that point.

Note: Even if you give your attorney power immediately, you may also continue ta make decisions yourself while
you are able to do so.

How much control will my attorney have?

Once the power to make a decision begins, your attorney will have full control
over that decision unless you have explicitly limited that power in this document.

Note: It is better not to place too many restrictions on your attorney's power, as this may make it difficult for your
attorney to make decisions on your behalf.

How long does the power continue?

For personal/health matters, it continues so long as you are incapable of
understanding the nature and foreseeing the effects of a decision, and of
communicating that decision.

For financial matters, it continues until it is revoked.

How can | be sure that my attorney will act in my interests?
While (if ever) you are unable to oversee your attorney's decisions, the Adult
Guardian and the Court have the power to protect your interests. Your attorney
may be required to produce a summary of receipts and expenditure or more
detailed accounts, and these may be audited. An attorney who does not
adequately protect your interests can be removed or changed.

Can | change or revoke this power of attorney?

Yes, you may change or revoke it at any time, so long as you are capable of
understanding what you are doing. In other words, so long as you have
