No one wants to think that there might come a time when you’re no longer able to make your own decisions. But if that time does come, having a power of attorney set up can make things much easier for you and those around you – so it’s worth planning ahead.
Age UK’s guide explains how you appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you’re no longer able to make or communicate your decisions. It covers:
- the different types of power of attorney
- the process of choosing an attorney
- the different ways of communicating your wishes
- what happens if you haven’t set up a power of attorney.
It also lists useful organisations that you can contact for impartial information and advice about setting up a power of attorney.
