Power of Attorney

Without power of attorney or lasting power of attorney in place, your loved ones will be unable to make decisions on your behalf and may have to apply to the Court of Protection for permission to make financial and welfare decisions regarding your care.

Power of attorney grants one or more people the right to make financial decisions for you when you need help. This might be if you are struggling with mobility and need someone to buy provisions for you, if you’re in hospital and need support making decisions about your mortgage, bills or personal finances or if you want someone to help make decisions when you are still able to supervise their actions. Power of attorney is usually temporary and can only be granted when you have sufficient mental capacity.

In the unfortunate instance that you become mentally incapacitated, having lasting power of attorney in place will enable those with permission, your attorney or attorneys, to make decisions about your finances, welfare, care and health.
