How it works

From form to registered EPOA, in five steps.

1

Answer a few questions

The wizard asks who you want to appoint, what powers they should have, and any limits you want to set. Plain English. No legal knowledge required. Save and come back whenever you want.

2

Pay for your EPOA

Complete your payment of HKD 9,000. That one payment covers the Bequest platform fee, your solicitors' legal fee, and the High Court registration fee. You arrange your own doctor for the capacity check, and pay them directly. Then book your first appointment with your solicitor.

3

Talk it through with a solicitor

A solicitor checks your EPOA against the requirements of the Ordinance. They also talk you through your decisions, so you know exactly what your attorney will and will not be able to do. All of this happens before you take the form to your doctor.

4

Sign with your doctor

You arrange your own registered medical practitioner. The doctor confirms your mental capacity and, if verified, signs as the first witness.

5

Sign with your solicitor

Arrange this one directly with your solicitor by email, and bring the signed form back within 28 days of your doctor signing it. Your solicitor witnesses your signature as the second witness, and your appointed attorneys attend to sign and accept the appointment. The firm then registers your EPOA with the High Court. The court's fee is already covered.

What's included

Everything that makes it real.

Your EPOA, in the prescribed form

The wizard asks what matters and builds your EPOA in the form required by law. Appoint one attorney or more. Set the scope. Add conditions if you want. You review everything before it is final.

Reviewed and witnessed by our partner law firm

A solicitor checks your EPOA against the requirements of the Ordinance and talks you through your decisions, so you know what your attorney will and will not be able to do. After your doctor signs, your solicitor witnesses your signature as the second witness.

You choose when it takes effect

Your EPOA can be effective immediately on signing, from a fixed date, or only when you lose mental capacity. Your solicitor will talk you through which of these fits your situation. Your attorney only steps in when it becomes necessary, and not before. You stay in control for as long as you are able.

Registered before you need it

Once your EPOA is signed, our partner law firm registers it with the High Court. That means it is already on the register if the day comes when your attorney needs to act, and your family is not filing court paperwork at the worst possible moment.

Who needs an EPOA

It's not just for old age.

A stroke. A car accident. A sudden diagnosis. If you cannot speak for yourself, your bank account freezes, your medical bills and mortgage go unpaid, your financial affairs unravel. Mental incapacity can happen to anyone at any age.

Without an EPOA, your family may need to apply to the High Court to manage your affairs. That takes months, and your family carries the cost of it. An EPOA costs HKD 9,000. It's one of the most practical things you can do for the people who depend on you.

Without an EPOA

No one can touch your bank accounts or property without a court order. Your family must apply to the High Court to be appointed, a process that takes months and carries its own cost, while the bills keep coming.

With an EPOA

The person you chose can step in without delay. No court application, no months of waiting, and no fight for access. Your affairs are handled by someone you trust, exactly as you set out.

Pricing

One price, paid once.

No subscription and no renewal. Pay once and your EPOA is yours.

Questions people ask.

No. A Will takes effect when you die. An EPOA operates while you are alive. They serve different purposes. Many people have both.
Someone you trust absolutely. Usually a spouse, an adult child, or a close relative. They will have access to your bank accounts, property, and investments. You can appoint more than one person and specify whether they act together or independently.
No. An EPOA covers property and financial affairs only. For health and medical decisions you need an Advance Medical Directive (AMD), which is a separate document made under different rules.
Your EPOA can be revoked while you have mental capacity, and you can make a new one. Because your EPOA is registered, there is a step with the court as well, and our partner law firm will guide you through it. As long as you are mentally capable, you remain in control.
You choose. Your EPOA can take effect immediately on signing, from a fixed date you specify, or only when you lose mental capacity. Your solicitor will talk you through which of these fits your situation.
HKD 9,000, one time. That covers the wizard, solicitor review, witnessing, High Court registration, and your digital copy. You arrange your own doctor for the capacity check and pay them directly, which is not part of what you pay Bequest.
Around 20 minutes to complete the wizard. After that there are three appointments. You book the first with your solicitor online. You arrange the second with your own doctor. You arrange the third with your solicitor by email, and it must be within 28 days of the second.
The signed original, which is the document that counts. It is yours, and your solicitor holds it while your EPOA is registered with the High Court. A copy of your draft stays in your account to download any time.

An act of love

It's easier to set one up now than to go to court later.

One form. One solicitor. HKD 9,000. Your family won't have to fight for access to your own bank account.
