Have you considered who will manage your affairs if you were no longer able to do so? There are a variety of circumstances when this might be necessary - mental incapacity, physical incapacity, absence from the country or simply you would prefer to leave the handling of your assets to a trusted family member or friend.
Furthermore, have you considered who would make decisions on your behalf regarding care and medical treatment if you were unable to make such decisions?
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney, Personal Welfare and Property and Affairs. Our Associate will discuss both options with you and allow you to make an informed decision and plan for these two important issues.
If either of the above circumstances arise and there is no Lasting Power of Attorney in place there is a need for the Office of the Public Guardian to get involved in appointing someone to manage your affairs - this is a costly and intrusive process.
