Power of Attorney
Tailored legal advice for your needs

A power of attorney is a legal document which you nominate a person or trustee organisation of your choice to temporarily or permanently manage your assets or financial affairs while you are alive. It enables your assets or financial affairs to be dealt with according to your wishes when you are unable to or do not want to manage yourself – for example when you are ill or simply do not wish to be burdened with day to day management of your financial affairs.

There are two types of Power of Attorney: General Power of Attorney and Enduring Power of Attorney. Choosing a POA is an important decision which you must be able to trust that person you appoint to act in your best interest. Genesis Legal provides tailored advice on the legal considerations that are relevant to your own personal situation.
