(a) power for a matter to an attorney by an enduring power
of attorney; and
(b) either—
(i) power for the matter to a different
attorney by a later enduring power of attorney; or
(ii) a direction about the
matter in a later advance health directive;
the earlier enduring power of
attorney is revoked to the extent it gives power for the matter.
(2) A
principal’s advance health directive is revoked, to the extent of an
inconsistency, by a later advance health directive.
Note—
If there is a
direction about a health matter in an advance health directive and a later
enduring power of attorney giving an attorney power for the health matter, the
direction prevails. See the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000,
section 66(Adult with impaired capacity—order of priority in dealing with
health matter).
