Looking after someone who is losing their mental or physical capacity is difficult, but doing so without a Power of Attorney is far more difficult, because you will not have the legal authority to speak on their behalf or deal with their affairs. Since the introduction of the Mental Health Act in 2005 people need a Will to determine what will happen after they die and a Power of Attorney to determine what will happen as they get older.
We are not the only firm that can put in place a legal Power of Attorney in only a few days. Several top notch firms of Solicitors who specialises in later life advocacy could also provide this service. However, you may have to wait weeks for an appointment to visit their offices and they may charge several thousands of pounds for this service.
A Power of Attorney is a vital safeguard to ensure you and your family can continue to live without intrusion and with dignity. If you are concerned that waiting sevral months may be to long our Express Power of Attorney service is the best solution.
