Benefits of an EPG

Making an Enduring Power of Guardianship enables the appointor to:

choose the person or people who will make decisions on their behalf about personal, lifestyle and treatment matters in the event they lose the ability to make such decisions themselves
safeguard their interests if they are no longer able to make reasoned decisions for themselves
determine the scope of decision-making authority their enduring guardian will have
maintain decision-making authority over some aspects of their life while passing on authority for other more complex decisions. This would be of significant benefit to an appointor who had a condition that developed over an extended period of time.
