Power of Attorney

Look no further for power of attorney specialists in Manchester….

When a person makes a power of attorney, they are appointing someone else to act for them with regards to certain matters. The person making the power of attorney is called the donor, and the person they appoint is called the attorney.

A power of attorney gives the attorney the legal authority to act on the donor’s behalf with third parties such as the local council or banks. Certain types of power of attorney also authorise the attorney to act on decisions such as where the donor should live and whether they should see a doctor. In order to make any type of power of attorney, the donor must be able to make decisions for themselves. This is called having mental capacity.

Statistics show that one person in the UK gets dementia every three minutes. But you cannot assume relatives can simply access your money from your bank for your own care.

Unless you’ve got a Power of Attorney already, relatives or friends would need to apply through court, which can be time consuming and expensive.

Find out how JMR Solicitors can be of assistance to you if you are looking to appoint a Power of Attorney in Manchester or elsewhere in the UK. If you have any questions visit our FAQ pages below to see if you can find out more:

Lack Mental Capacity for Power of Attorney An individual can lack metal capacity if they have an injury, disorder or condition that affects the way their mind works. People are considered to lack mental capacity if they have impairments that mean they are unable to make an explicit decision.
Ordinary Power of Attorney Ordinary Power of Attorney covers decisions about your financial affairs and is legally binding while you have mental capacity. It is appropriate if you need cover for a temporary period such as (hospital stay or holiday) or if you find it hard to leave the house.
Enduring Power of Attorney An Enduring Power of Attorney is a category of power of attorney which permits the Donor to assign someone to act on the Donor’s behalf in matters that relate to the Donor’s property and affairs.
Lasting Power of Attorney If you wish for someone to take care of your affairs for a long period then a lasting power of attorney can be applied for.
What happens if there is no power of attornery? If someone has lost their mental capacity and there is no power of attorney in place, or if a power of attorney has been ended, there are many ways to make sure that the right person makes important decisions on their behalf.
