UK Government Public
Guardianship Office - Clear
explanation of the process by
the office that manages
Enduring Powers of Attorney
and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Note: Enduring Power of
Attorney was replaced with
Lasting Power of Attorney in
October 2007
In Scots law, power of attorney
can be granted by an individual
with capacity, or by petition to
a sheriff court. If a petition is
used, then the verification of a
solicitor, and that of two
practicing doctors. These are
usually the GP of the subject of
the POA and another brought
from outside to provide an
objective view. The letters of
assessment from the doctors
must be within a set time limit
of each other, so as to verify
each other.
There are currently two types
of power of attorney -
continuing and welfare.

[edit] Irish Law
Irish law allows two types of
powers of attorney: [5]
an ordinary Power of Attorney
which ceases to be effective if
the Donor becomes mentally
incapacitated and,
an Enduring Power of Attorney
which takes effect only on the
mental incapacity of the donor.
Either kind of power of
attorney may be a general
power, giving the attorney
general power to perform any
legal act that the donor might
do, or a specific power, giving
the attorney power to perfom
a specific action (or a specific
type of action) on the donor's
behalf. [6]

power of attorney to act, not
requiring a notarial certificate,
have the force and without
