Power of Attorney - Crompton Halliwell
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legally binding document which enables you to choose a person or persons, that you trust, to deal with your affairs in the future should you become either physically or mentally incapable.
Your Attorneys can be appointed to deal with Property and Finance and/or your Health and Welfare.
It is vitally important that you sign a Lasting Power of Attorney before you lose mental capacity as your ability to do so will end upon such loss. It will then be necessary for your family and friends to apply to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a Deputy to be able to manage your affairs.
We at Crompton Halliwell will be able to assist in either of these situations.
