General Affairs

It is possible to draw up a legal document called a Power of Attorney. This allows one person to appoint one or more people to handle his or her affairs. With the introduction of Lasting Powers of Attorney in October 2007, a Power of Attorney can now be set up to allow another person to manage not only your financial affairs, but also to make decisions about your personal welfare. All Enduring Powers of Attorney created before October 2007 remain valid.

We regularly act as professional Attorneys. It is vital to choose the right person to act for you under a Power of Attorney. It is often the case that we are brought into contact with people with diminishing mental capacity in difficult circumstances. Our approach is both professional and sympathetic.

Our team of experienced solicitors are familiar with both setting up and administering affairs under all types of Powers of Attorney. This is an increasingly complex area where expert advice is essential.
