Known as Powers of Attorney in Scotland, and, Lasting Powers of attorney in the rest of the UK.
If you become incapacitated, who would you want to look after your health, welfare,property and financial affairs. It would need to be someone you trust.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document giving people of your choosing, known as Attorneys, the legal power to make decisions on your behalf should you loose the mental capacity at any time in the future.
In Scotland, one document usually covers both Health and Welfare and Financial affairs. They are seperate in the remainder of the UK, and, you can choose to make one or both. Most people make both.
Arranging a Power of Attorney ensures that YOU choose the people to look after your affairs. The alternative is a Guardianship Order in Scotland or a Court of Protection Order in the rest of the UK. This can take very many months to complete and can be a VERY expensive process. This is to be avoided at all costs.
