What is power of attorney?
Lasting Power of Attorney is when you grant someone else the ability to make decisions on your behalf, should it become necessary.
Having someone appointed who knows what you want regarding your care in hospital, your living situation or even to ensure payments are sorted so you do not get into debt whilst unwell, is something that can put your mind at ease.
Power of attorney for individuals
Most people choose to arrange power of attorney for themselves, based on their individual needs and considerations. This is simple to do, and you can compare quotes for up to four legal experts to help you make your power of attorney.
Power of attorney for couples
It is possible to arrange power of attorney as a couple. You will still have individual documents, but your paperwork will ensure you can act as attorney for your partner, and vice versa. Whether you are married or not, you still need power of attorney.
