A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone to act on another’s behalf. This could be in respect of your Property and Financial Affairs and or your Health and Welfare.

You can ensure that you retain control of your affairs by appointing somebody you trust to make decisions on your behalf. Mental incapacity does not respect age. It can happen to young and old alike through accident, illness or old age.

At Killingworth & Parrott, Solicitors we can help you create a Power of Attorney and set out the circumstances in which someone can look after your affairs on your behalf.

We can also provide help with the Registration of  Enduring Powers of Attorney and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
