Lasting powers of attorney
If you want to plan for the possibility that one day you may not be able to manage your affairs due to age, illness or disability, you can sign what is called a lasting power of attorney. This means that you can appoint someone of your choosing while you are still fit and healthy - someone who you think is the best person to manage your affairs.
If you do become incapable in the future, and you have not appointed a person with a lasting power of attorney the Court of Protection is required to appoint someone and this process is not only costly and time-consuming, but more importantly you would not have any influence as to who that person is.
It is something which many of our clients - and their families - have been pleased that they created while they have been able to do so.
