Power of Attorney

Appointing a Power of Attorney gives your attorney the legal authority to look after your financial affairs on your behalf.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document whereby one person nominates and gives legal authority to another to act on the management of their affairs.

A power of attorney is not a document to be entered into lightly. It gives extensive authority to the person appointed. The attorney may withdraw money from that person's bank account or transfer property on behalf of the person- however they must be seen to be acting in the best interests of the person on whose behalf they are signing.
