The fifth edition of this title provides a comprehensive guide to an increasingly important area of law. All aspects of powers of attorney are covered - both ordinary powers of attorney and enduring powers of attorney - ranging from a basic overview of the subject to more in-depth coverage of specific areas such as the execution of documents, protection of third parties and procedure in the Court of Protection. An invaluable handbook not only for legal advisers, but also for anyone who is acting under a power of attorney and needs to know their powers, duties and rights.
