Financial institutions adhere to strict regulations and will not disclose information to a third party without proper authorisation. A Power of Attorney empowers you to designate another person to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so, due to illness, injury, frailty, or being in another country.
In recent years, Power of Attorney has become more significant, mostly because of higher life expectancies and a rise in conditions like dementia.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) empowers your chosen representative to make decisions on your behalf in the event of your mental incapacity. There are two categories of LPAs: one for financial decisions and the other for health and care decisions.
An LPA for financial decisions grants the designated individual the authority to handle matters such as bills, mortgages, investments, and property transactions. Meanwhile, an LPA concerning health and care can make decisions regarding aspects like your residence and medical care.
