Planning for the future is essential, and creating a Power of Attorney ensures that your affairs are handled by someone you trust if you become unable to manage them yourself. At North Ainley, our expert private client team is here to guide you through this process with care and professionalism.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust (your "attorney") to make decisions on your behalf. There are two main types of Powers of Attorney:
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): Property and Financial Affairs: Manage your finances, including paying bills, handling investments, or selling property.
Health and Welfare: Make decisions about your healthcare, medical treatment, and personal welfare.
General Power of Attorney: A temporary arrangement for specific situations, such as when you're abroad or unavailable.
