Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to nominate another person to act on your behalf.This gives that other person authority,if you choose,to manage your legal and financial affairs,including buying and selling of real estate,shares and other assets,operating bank accounts,and spending money on your behalf.A general power of attorney ceases if you lose your mental capacity after its execution.If you wish the power of attorney to continue if you lose mental capacity,an enduring power of attorney should be put in place.The person you appoint as your attorney cannot make decisions about your lifestyle or health;these decisions can only be made by a guardian and please read about enduring guardianship on our website.
