Powers of Attorney

Have you considered who will make the important decisions for you when you can’t? Life can be unpredictable, and planning for the future is more than just a smart move—it’s essential. Establishing a Powers of Attorney ensures that your personal and financial affairs are managed according to your wishes even if you become unable to make decisions yourself. Whether you’re preparing for potential health issues or simply organising your estate, understanding Powers of Attorney is a critical step towards peace of mind and security.

Understanding Powers of Attorney

There are several types of Powers of Attorney: 

• General Power of Attorney: This grants broad powers for a specified time, usually while you’re still able to make your own decisions. 

• Enduring Power of Attorney: This continues to be effective even if you lose capacity to make decisions, covering personal, financial, and health-related matters. 

Understanding these distinctions is crucial to ensuring your intentions are honored no matter what the future holds.
