Lasting and General Powers of Attorney

By this appointment you will safeguard your assets for your benefit in the future if needed.

This can seriously deplete your assets and might not be what you would want .

A Health and Welfare Lasting Powers of Attorney allows you to appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf should you become incapable of doing so yourself. This could be in relation to medical treatment, who you see, or where you live. You might have made a living Will which provided for this, but if it was made before 2007 it might not still be valid and should be updated.

Some health authorities will also only accept living Wills that are less than 12 months old.
