You can plan now for what may happen in the future, even many years ahead. This is a deed that specifies who will be appointed to look after your financial affairs and assets. Generally, a family member or close and trusted friend, together with your solicitor are appointed.

A general Power of Attorney will usually be for immediate use but can continue up until the donor becomes incapable.  If you wish to have a Power of Attorney that continues even after mental incapacity you will need a Lasting Power of Attorney.

Pengillys have helped hundreds of clients make an Enduring Power of Attorney and we consistently see the benefits and relief that they can bring to individuals and their families.
The deed can be very flexible but ultimately gives you control and reassurance.

You should consider drawing up a Power of Attorney at any stage in life, but particularly if you are nearing retirement or regularly undertake dangerous work or sports.
