Frequently Asked Questions
What is a power of attorney, and why is it important?
A power of attorney is a legal document allowing you to appoint someone to manage your financial or legal affairs if you’re unable to. It’s crucial to help ensure your preferences are upheld during illness, incapacity or extended absences, such as overseas travel.
This person—your attorney—acts within the authority you grant, whether it’s broad or specific. It provides peace of mind that your financial and legal matters are in trusted hands, reducing stress for you and your family.
Can a power of attorney make medical decisions?
No, a power of attorney does not cover medical or personal care decisions. For this, you need an enduring guardian. While a power of attorney focuses on financial and legal matters, an enduring guardian handles healthcare and lifestyle decisions.
Both documents can work together to provide comprehensive protection and ensure all aspects of your wellbeing are managed appropriately.
How do I choose the right attorney for my power of attorney?
Learn MoreSelecting an attorney requires careful consideration. Choose someone you trust implicitly who has the financial knowledge, responsibility and integrity to manage your affairs. This could be a family member, close friend or a professional.
Discuss their responsibilities with them beforehand to help make sure they’re comfortable taking on the role. Legal advice can help you make an informed decision and draft a document that reflects your needs.
Can I revoke or change my power of attorney?
Find Out MoreYes, you can revoke or change your power of attorney at any time, provided you have the mental capacity to do so. Revocation requires written notice to the attorney, and a new document must be created if changes are needed. It’s advisable to regularly review the arrangement to ensure it still aligns with your current circumstances and preferences.
