Powers of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a procedure whereby you may nominate someone to be your attorney (or you may nominate more than one person) should mental incapacity befall you in the future and prevent you acting on your own behalf. An attorney should be someone you can trust implicitly, usually a close family member.
With a Lasting Power of Attorney you can appoint attorneys to act for you in respect of your Financial & Property affairs or to act for you on Social & Welfare issues - or you can do both. If you choose to cover both aspects you can appoint different attorneys for each, if you so wish.
Planning in advance in this way can avoid distress and cost for you and your family who will otherwise have to apply for Receivership through the Court of Protection to act on your behalf - a lengthy and potentially costly procedure.
We can draw up a Lasting Power of Attorney for you and advise you on related matters.
