Powers of Attorney

These are vital documents to have in place. The Government has recently stated that they would like everyone to have Powers of Attorney in place. There are basically two types, covering Personal Welfare and Financial Matters. You have to have mental capacity to sign these documents. It is a common misunderstanding to wait until capacity is lost before thinking about having a Power of Attorney. If you lack capacity it will be necessary to have all your affairs overseen by a Government Department known as the Court of Protection. This is not very satisfactory and is very very expensive.
