Power of Attorney and Guardianship

We help carers access free legal advice to plan for the future, in case the person you care for loses capacity.

A Power of Attorney (PoA) is a legal document where an individual gives authority to another person to make decisions on their behalf about financial and/or personal welfare issues, in case they lose capacity.

A Guardianship order is a court appointment that authorises someone to act and make decisions on behalf of an adult with incapacity.
