Powers of attorney have a crucial role to play in looking after vulnerable people. Yet power of attorney legislation is inconsistent across the globe, with some jurisdictions having very limited legislation in place. Jurisdictions that do have robust legislation in place may not be recognised in a country outside of where it was made, and some jurisdictions do not have any power of attorney legislative instruments at all. 

In this comparative guide, Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) members will provide quick and informative answers to an adviser’s questions on the policy and legislation of another jurisdiction.
