Spanish term or phrase: vigencia de sus facultades

I am working on a Special Power of Attorney from Spanish (Spain) to UK English and there are a number of queries which I have which I will post separately. I have checked the glossary entries and I am still a little befuddled concerning the correct terminology to be used in this case.

Thank you all so much for your help.

Original Spanish (Spain):

Me asevera bajo su responsabilidad la subsistencia de la entidad que representa, la continuidad de su cargo y la *** vigencia de sus facultades. ***

My attempt into UK English:

He attests and takes responsibility for the viability of the entity which he represents, the continuity of his position and the *** validity of his duties.***

Notes to answerer

Asker: Now ... this seems to fit the bill! So it should read "He attests and takes responsibility for the viability of the entity which he represents, the continuity of his position and the validity of his powers". rather than the effectiveness of his capacities.

Asker: Oops! I meant "I am". I have left out the "still" (suggested by John) and gone with your original proposal.

1 hr confidence:

effectiveness of his duties

Explanation:
Just another term taken from the original context. I think "validity of his duties" is very correct too.
Just that "vigencia" somehow in the context refers to an active term, alive, maybe that is why I tend to "effectiveness".

Saludos, A.

Maybe "capacities" rather than "duties"?

Asker: How so? My orginal: He attests and takes responsibility for the viability of the entity which he represents, the continuity of his position and the **validity of his duties.*** ".. and the empowerment of his capacities? Something along these lines?
