Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney allows someone of your choosing to take control of your affairs and welfare if you are incapacitated. This is often a partner or other family member. 

Plan Ahead for Peace of Mind


A Power of Attorney (POA) is an essential legal document that ensures someone you trust can manage your financial and welfare affairs if you become unable to do so.

Affordable and Easy to Arrange


Creating a Power of Attorney is quick, easy, and affordable. Whether you’re in good health or have existing medical conditions, the process can usually be completed efficiently. Without a POA, if you lose the capacity to manage your affairs, your family or friends would need to apply for guardianship—a process that is both costly and time-consuming.

Not Just About Finances


A POA isn’t just for managing money or property. It also covers your welfare, including decisions about your health and well-being. This makes it a vital document for everyone, not just those with significant assets. In fact, studies have shown that without a POA in place, individuals can face extended hospital stays, sometimes up to four months longer, due to delays in decision-making.

Flexible and Adaptable


A Power of Attorney is a flexible document. It can be amended or revoked at any time, as long as you have capacity. This means you can adjust it to reflect changes in your life, giving you control over your affairs while ensuring future security.

Communicate Your Wishes Clearly


Concerned about how your attorney will know your preferences? This can be easily addressed. Before appointing someone, have a conversation with them to ensure they’re comfortable with the role and fully understand your wishes. Clear communication now can avoid uncertainty later.

Peace of Mind—Even if It’s Never Used


Unlike a will, which is always used eventually, a Power of Attorney may never be needed if you remain in good health throughout your life. However, the peace of mind it provides—for you and your loved ones—is invaluable. A POA can also be used for convenience, such as managing affairs at home if you’re living abroad.

Don’t Leave It to Chance


A Power of Attorney is an essential safeguard that protects you and your loved ones in times of need. It ensures that decisions about your finances and welfare are made by someone you trust, avoiding unnecessary stress, delays, and expenses.
