POWERS OF ATTORNEY REGULATION 2007 (NO 2) (NO 11 OF 2007) - REG 3

The Act, chapter 20 (Transitional provisions) is modified by inserting the following:

152A     Transitional––powers of attorney forms under previous Act, sch 1

    (1)     This section applies to a general power of attorney or enduring power of attorney made on or after the commencement day and before 1 December 2007 using a form under the previous Act, schedule 1.

    (2)     This Act applies to the power of attorney.

    (3)     However, if the power of attorney when made complied with the previous Act, the power of attorney—

        (a)     is not taken to be invalid only because it does not comply with a provision of this Act about the making of powers of attorney; and

        (b)     to remove any doubt, operates to the extent that it is not otherwise inconsistent with this Act.

    (4)     This section is a law to which the Legislation Act, section 88 (Repeal does not end effect of transitional laws etc) applies.
