Powers of Attorney

Sometimes it is useful to appoint another person to act on your behalf and with your authority either in connection with a property transaction or simply for example to deal with your banking requirements. We are able to prepare the necessary document tailored to your requirements.
Enduring Powers of Attorney
	An Enduring Power of Attorney is a document allowing you to appoint another person to deal with your affairs if you become unable to do so, either physically or mentally. The purpose of such a power is to ensure that there is always someone to look after your affairs if you become ill.
	If you were to become ill and lose your mental capacity your assets would be frozen. You may need money quickly for medical treatment or nursing home fees. Not even your wife or husband would have authority to use those assets unless you specifically authorised it by an Enduring Power of Attorney. Mental incapacity can happen to anyone regardless of age or health history. A brain injury, Alzheimer's Disease, stroke or any other physical or mental disability could make you vulnerable in more ways than one.
	We are able to establish your individual requirements and to discuss this matter sensitively with you.
	For those who have no appropriate person to appoint then we are able to act as Attorney on your behalf.
	If you would like further information of this service and the cost then please contact us.
