Completing a Power of Attorney can be a very sensible form of forward thinking. By thinking about what may happen in the future, you can ensure your best interests are looked after.

By creating a Power of Attorney, you give someone the power to make decisions on your behalf when you come to lack the mental capacity to do so. As such, you can ensure that whatever happens in your future, there is someone you trust that can look after your affairs.

You can specify what powers your attorney will have and whether your attorney has a general power to do anything that you are legally able to delegate or a limited power to deal with particular property or affairs.
