Enduring Power of Attorney, English Documentation

OVERVIEW

This translation has been specifically prepared by Adv. John de Frece to enable English-speakers, with limited Hebrew, to understand the complicated and important aspects of the Law. In addition, Adv. de Frece has provided a downloadable EPOA form (click button above), which can be filled in and submitted to his office. This form will carry the same weight as the Hebrew-language form from which it was translated.

Adv. de Frece will be happy to provide any further clarification.
