Powers of Attorney, 3rd edition
Powers of Attorney, 3rd edition provides a detailed and dedicated treatment of the law surrounding powers of attorney
Product description
The prevalence of powers of attorney --- particularly enduring powers of attorney--- makes this book increasingly important over time, especially in view of Australia’s ageing population. Powers of Attorney 3e is not confined to Australian law but uses law from the principal common law countries to contextualise our law, and to provide guidance where Australian law may be lacking.
Book Review - Law Society of South Australia | May 2020
Features
- Updated commentary and timely analysis of interstate powers with respect to enduring powers of attorney and guardianships/directives
