Power of Attorney

Why Should I Get a Power of Attorney?

At some point in your life, you may be unable to manage your affairs due to mental or physical incapacity. A Power of Attorney (PoA) can be useful for a temporary period, such as when you are in the hospital and need assistance with your finances, or it can be established for a permanent duration.

Do I Have a Choice in Who Looks After My Affairs?

Yes, by signing a Power of Attorney, you can specify who you want to manage your personal affairs in the legal document. This person should be someone you trust and who is willing to take care of your property, finances, and physical welfare. No one can act on your behalf without your legal authorization. You can also name more than one person to look after your affairs.

You can make changes to your Power of Attorney at any time throughout your life, providing it has been registered and as long as you still have the mental capacity to make decisions
It is much easier and simpler to get a solicitor to act for you as you will need a professional person to produce a certificate that you fully understand what you are doing and haven’t been put under any pressure to sign a PoA.

What Responsibilities Does Your Attorney Have?

Generally, an attorney can make decisions about anything to do with your health and your personal well-being. This includes decisions about medical treatment where you are covered and for any type of care you will receive. The Attorney must act in your best interests at all times and you can specify in the PoA what consent your Attorney can have.
