Schedule 4: Provisions applying to existing enduring powers of attorney
185.This Schedule has effect in relation to any EPAs remaining at the time of the repeal of the Enduring Powers of Attorney Act 1985. It ensures that such instruments will continue to have the same legal effect as they had at the time they were made. They will also continue to be governed by the legal rules and procedures which were in place at the time they were made. The Schedule therefore restates with amendments the relevant provisions of the Enduring Powers of Attorney Act 1985. The amendments relate to the distribution of the functions of the original Court of Protection between the new Court of Protection and the new office of the Public Guardian.
