EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Enduring Powers of Attorney (Welsh Language Prescribed Form) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3125), which revoked the Enduring Powers of Attorney (Welsh Language Prescribed Form) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/289) and provided a new Welsh language version of the prescribed form for an Enduring Power of Attorney. Regulation 3 of the 2005 Regulations permits the continued use, before 1st April 2007, of the form that was replaced by the 2005 Regulations.

These Regulations amend the date in regulation 3 of the 2005 Regulations so as to enable the form that was replaced by the 2005 Regulations to continue to be used until 1st October 2007.
