ACT Enduring Power of Attorney

ACT residents, make an Enduring Power of Attorney with this template form.

• You can choose to have the Power of Attorney become effective immediately, or at a date you specify, or only if you become incapacitated. In the latter case, if you regain your legal capacity, the Enduring Power of Attorney becomes ineffective again.
• You can name someone you trust to act as your attorney, to make decisions and manage your affairs for you if you are incapable of doing so.
• It is up to you to decide whether you want to give your attorney the power to make personal decisions for you (such as housing, companionship, personal hygiene, etc.), and/or to consent or refuse to consent to medical treatments and procedures.
• This form contains instructions on how to complete and execute the power of attorney, as well as information for your attorney(s).

This Australian Capital Territory Enduring Power of Attorney template is available in MS Word format, and is easy to download, fill in and print.
