(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Enduring Powers of Attorney (Prescribed Form) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/1376) so as to substitute a new prescribed form for an Enduring Power of Attorney. The prescribed form must be used in order to make an Enduring Power of Attorney. However regulation 3 permits the continued use, before 1st April 2007, of the form which is replaced by the new prescribed form.
