Power of Attorney
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone to make decisions for you, or act on your behalf, if you’re no longer able to or if you no longer want to make your own decisions.
There are a number of reasons why you might need someone to make decisions for you or act on your behalf:
- This could just be a temporary situation; for example, you need someone to act on your behalf to buy or sell a property abroad
- You may need to make longer-term plans if, for example, you are unable to travel and need someone to act on your behalf outside of England or Wales
