We can also assist you in applying for Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection Orders. These are normally granted to enable friends and relatives or professional advisors to administer the affairs of elderly or infirm relatives when for whatever reason they are unwilling or anticipate being unable to manage their own affairs.
Powers of Attorney are also relevant when a person involved in legal proceedings is unable to conduct them because of the need to be out of the country.
If someone grants a power of attorney the person with that power can exercise the legal rights of the person giving the power to the extent to which those rights are set out in the document itself. Restrictions can be placed on the power and the person giving the power can withdraw it upon application.
We would be more than happy to discuss in person the extent to which a Power of Attorney may meet yours or your family's needs.
