If an elderly relative is having difficulty handling financial affairs or you yourself are then it is possible to appoint somebody to handle them for you or assist you with them. This is called giving them “Power of Attorney”.

A Power of Attorney can also now be created to enable an individual to make welfare and health decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself for any reason.

If, however, a family member is unable to create a Power of Attorney due to illness or a lack of understanding there are procedures in place for an individual to be appointed by a court – the Court of Protection. Such appointed person can then deal with the relative’s financial affairs and deal with any issues that arise in the future.

Our experienced team at Mills Kemp & Brown are able to assist with all aspects of Power of Attorney and Court of Protection work, and our aim is to make this often upsetting and frustrating area as simple and quick as possible.

Home visits or an appointment in a ground floor room can be arranged – please ask about this when making an appointment
