Power of Attorney & Incapacity

At some point in the future, it may become difficult or even impossible for you to look after and manage your own affairs.

It may be that you have lost mental capacity, or have simply reached a stage in your life where you would rather someone else took on the responsibility for looking after your day-to-day finances.

At Aberdein Considine, we have specialist lawyers who can guide you in the right direction.

A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to appoint a family member, friend or professional adviser to make financial or welfare decisions on your behalf should you be unable or unwilling to do so.

A POA can be drafted quickly and cost effectively to reflect your individual circumstances and wishes, whilst also being flexible enough to make certain that your trusted attorney is able to deal with any conceivable scenario.

Guardianships

Should you lose mental capacity it is no longer possible for you to grant a POA.

If that happens, then it may be necessary for an application to be made to the courts to have someone appointed as your financial or welfare guardian. Our court lawyers can help you take control of the affairs of a loved one, should that be necessary, by guiding you through the court process of obtaining an intervention or guardianship order.

Living Wills

Advance medical directives (or AMD) are often referred to as ‘living wills’. An AMD records any wishes you may have regarding medical treatment you may or may not wish to have in the future.

An AMD can also provide invaluable guidance to family and medical professionals at a time when you are no longer able to express your wishes.

Our lawyers are able to assist you with the drafting of an AMD in order to ensure that your wishes are given effect.
