Lasting Powers of Attorney
What does a General Power of Attorney do?
A General (Ordinary) Power of Attorney allows one or more person(s), known as the attorney(s), to make financial decisions on your behalf. It is only valid while you still have the mental capacity to make your own decisions.
It is useful when:
- You need someone to act for you for a temporary period, such as when on holiday, or in hospital, or currently having to self-isolate.
- You are unable to get out and about to the bank or post office and want someone to be able to access your account for you.
- You want someone to act for you, but still want to supervise their actions.
Witnessing
A General Power of Attorney will need to be signed by the donor in the presence of an independent witness (NOT an attorney) such as a friend, neighbour or relative.
The point to remember is, that as long as everyone can see everyone else, then the document is valid.
