A Power of Attorney (called the Power) is a document whereby a person (called the Donor) gives to another person(s) (called the Attorney) the power to act on the Donor’s behalf in respect of the Donor’s affairs.
Many of us worry that as our loved ones get older, illness or mental incapacity may prevent them from managing their own affairs. We are right to worry because if nothing is done, even as next of kin, we cannot legally manage those affairs.
Our solicitors can advise you on the choices you can exercise now, to ease the future risks of failing mental capacity; such as Lasting Power of Attorneys and Living Wills.
