What is a General Non-Enduring Power of Attorney?

 

A General Non-Enduring Power of Attorney authorises a person or persons to act on your behalf in relation to your financial and personal matters for a specified period of time. This authority will end at the date or occasion specified in the Power of Attorney or once revoked by you.

For example: you are going to be overseas when the sale of an asset occurs, i.e. car, boat or house, a non-enduring power of attorney could be used to appoint someone to execute the sale documents while you are away.
