Wills, Probate & Trusts:

Powers of Attorney

There may come a time in your life when you are or unable to make day to day decisions about your finances and welfare and want a family member or close friend to take on this responsibility. In order for organisations and authorities to act on that person’s instructions you would have to formally appoint them as your Attorney.  This process involves using special forms called a “Lasting Power of Attorney” in which you can appoint an Attorney to make decisions on your behalf about things such as your property and financial affairs and/or health and welfare.  A Lasting Power of Attorney has to be registered at the Court before your Attorney can act for you.

At Towns Needham, we will provide you and your chosen Attorney with advice and assistance in completing the required documents and registering the Lasting Power of Attorney at the Office of the Public Guardian.
