Sample Powers of Attorney

The sample powers of attorney include the certificate which requires to be signed by a solicitor, advocate or doctor. There is also a list of the most commonly used financial powers and welfare powers. You should consider carefully what powers you wish to be included in the document.
It is also possible to add a clause to a Continuing Power of Attorney that states that the document is only to be used after the granter becomes incapable. Please note that after 5 October 2007, if such a clause is added, a statement must also be included that states that the granter has considered how their incapacity is to be determined.
To set up a power of attorney it is recommended that you seek the advice of a solicitor.
