An Enduring Power of Attorney is a powerful and useful legal document whereby the donor gives control of some or all of his assets to another.

It’s real purpose is to provide for a situation in which the donor can no longer exercise control over his affairs because of illness—or in a short term situation—because he is out of the country.

But there is a real danger that the attorney may abuse that trust and exercise the power in a way that exploits the donor.

This site is provided to give information about Enduring Powers of Attorney in English law—and to warn folk of the perils of trusting the wrong person with your property.

It contains the salutary tale of how Mark’s money was dispersed—and how, after his death we tried unsuccessfully to get the attorney to render proper accounts.

We believe that the law should be made  stricter so that accounts have to be made and independently  examined—to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people.

 

 

This website is dedicated to the memory of

Mark Green

who died at the age of 33 after executing a power of attorney in favour of a local businessman. 

March 20th 2001

He lost all his money.
