Powers of Attorney are extrememly useful documents.
A power of attorney is an authority that you give someone
to handle your affairs.
The person or organisation acting as your attorney has a duty to act
in your best interests and take prudent care in managing your business
affairs.
There are Two Basic Types of Power of Attorney
1) an ordinary power of attorney.
2) an enduring power of attorney.
The differences are explained clearly in our Power of Attorney Kits but in
brief if a person no longer has mental capcity then an ordinary Power of Attorney will
no longer be effective.
There are Two Basic Types of Enduring Power of Attorney
1) an enduring power of attorney for property matters.
2) an enduring power of attorney for health, care and related matters.
Our Power of Attorney Kits contain forms for both ordinary and enduring powers
of attorney in relation to property matters. For a Kit containing a Power of Attorney
in relation to health matters see our Living Will Kits
