Power of Attorney

We recommend that every adult in Scotland should grant a Power of Attorney as a safeguard against unforeseen events. This document allows a trusted person to look after your affairs if you are unable to.

You can create two types of Power of Attorney:

• Continuing (financial) Power of Attorney PoA, authorising your Attorneys to make decisions to do with money or property
• Welfare Power of Attorney, authorising your Attorneys to make decisions about your health and personal welfare.

The solicitors at Fergusson Law can advise you further on this matter and help you set up an appropriate Power of Attorney.
