29 Power of Attorney A Power of Attorney gives either a specific or general power and ceases as soon as the donor becomes incapacitated. A Power of Attorney can be specific (e.g. they can have the power to sell your house), or general, general meaning that they can have a wide range of powers in relation to property, business and financial affairs Ceases on the death of the donor
30 Enduring Power of Attorney Executing an Enduring Power of Attorney will mean that if a person becomes of unsound mind and unable to look after their own affairs, the person elected will step into this role. If an Enduring Power of Attorney is not in place, the person of unsound mind may have to be made a Ward of Court. Execution of an Enduring Power of Attorney should be considered d by anyone putting their affairs in order and can often be considered at the time of making of a will.
31 Enduring Power of Attorney It is of particular importance for people who may live on their own and may not have a family who can take care of them The person that is appointed power of attorney should be someone trustworthy, reliable and honest and someone who is well known to the individual. They should be familiar with what the wishes of the person would be.
32 Creation of an EPA The document creating the power must be in a particular format and must include the following: A statement by a doctor A statement from you A statement from a solicitor
33 Creation of an EPA At least 2 people must be notified of the making of an EPA, none of whom will be the attorney. One of the notice parties must be your spouse or civil partner if living with you. If this does not apply, one of your notice parties must be your child. If neither is applicable, one of the notice parties must be any relative (that is parent, sibling, grandchild, widow/widower/surviving civil partner of child, nephew or niece).

35 Pension Adjustment t Orders Family Law Act judicial separation/foreign divorce Family Law (Divorce) Act Divorce Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act registered civil partners/qualified cohabitants A PAO is an order made by the courts, designating g part of the benefits of a pension to a non-member spouse or dependent child
36 Pension Adjustment t Orders PAO is not applicable to a spouse that has remarried No PAO on foot of a separation agreement, must be a court separation, divorce or dissolution of civil partnership by the court Pension Adjustment t Od Order can only be made in favour of a Civil Partner under the 2010 Act, there is no provision for the making of an order in respect of a dependent member of the family For the purposes of PAOs, benefits are broken into two types- contingent benefits and retirement benefits
37 Pension Adjustment t Orders Contingent benefits- means death in service benefits under a pension scheme Retirement benefits- means benefits payable payable on or following retirement A pension scheme member may be eligible for one or both types of benefits. Each type of benefit must be applied for separately under different PAO's PAO for contingent benefit must be made within 12 months of granting of decree
38 Pension Adjustment Orders- Variation A Pension Adjustment Order in relation to Retirement Benefits can be varied No power to vary a PAO in relation to contingent benefits Difference between defined benefit defined Difference between defined benefit, defined contribution, hybrid schemes
39 Pension Adjustment t Orders- Calculation l The Court decides the level of benefit to be made to the non-member spouse and this is worked out by calculating a 'relevant period' and the 'relevant percentage'. Relevant period- the period during which the benefits were earned i.e. Start date to end date and it cannot extend beyond the date of the decree of the divorce R l t t th t f th Relevant percentage the percentage of the benefit to be taken into account that is earned during the relevant period
40 Pension Adjustment Orders Alternatives- PAO not always the best solution The court may take account of pension benefits by means of any other type of order under the Act (e.g. by making an adjustment to the allocation of non-pension matrimonial a assets i.e. property, savings, shares etc. Court may decide that adequate financial protection could be made for the non-member spouse by requiring the other spouse to effect a suitable life assurance policy instead of making a PAO in respect of a contingent benefit
