My brother wants to give me authority to sign various affairs for him when necessary which I am happy to do.
He has provided me with a simple document to sign (per Power of Attorney Act 1996) and our mother will witness.
I'm just confused - it seems so simple, how does any institution I am dealing with for him know that this is valid - anyone could just draw one up. How do I prove that this piece of paper is valid? So how do they verify that the document is not just fraud.
Thanks
