LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY
What are they used for?
We all hope to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible.
However, there can come a time when we are no longer physically or
mentally capable to make decisions for ourselves.
While a person still has full mental capacity and can make their own
decisions, that person can appoint an Attorney (or several Attorneys), who
will manage their affairs and make decisions on their behalf when they can no longer do that for themselves.
There are two types of Powers:
1. Financial Decisions
A Financial Decisions
Power covers decisions
regarding how your money
is managed and how your
property and other financial
matters are dealt with.
2. Health Care Decisions
A Health Care Decisions Power
covers medical treatment and
welfare to include residence and
medical decisions. It can give
your Attorneys power to refuse or
consent to treatment on your behalf.
