Powers of Attorney

Introduction

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone else to make decisions on your behalf in the event that you are no longer able to do so.
It is important to have a Power of Attorney in place to ensure that your wishes are followed and that your affairs are taken care of.
There are different types of Powers of Attorney available depending on your needs and circumstances.

Types of Powers of Attorney

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): This is the most common type of Power of Attorney and allows you to choose someone to make decisions for you in the event that you become unable to do so yourself. There are two types of LPA: one for health and welfare decisions, and one for property and financial affairs.
General Power of Attorney (GPA): This type of Power of Attorney is usually used for a specific purpose, such as allowing someone to manage your affairs while you are abroad or unable to do so temporarily.

The Process of Setting Up a Power of Attorney

It is important to seek professional advice when setting up a Power of Attorney to ensure that it is set up correctly and meets your needs.
