A Power of Attorney is a very important and powerful legal document that allows someone, known as your attorney, to make financial decisions on your behalf when you’re not able to or simply do not want to. 

You might have lost the capacity to manage your finances through old age, accident or illness. Alternatively, you may simply lead an extremely busy lifestyle and would prefer someone else to manage your financial and legal affairs on your behalf.

When you create a Power of Attorney, you are handing over legal authority. That means your attorney can take action in your name. Depending on how the document is set up, this may include managing your bank accounts, signing legal documents, or buying and selling property.

At Rayners Lawyers, we help you put clear, accurate terms in place—so that your interests are protected, and your wishes are respected.
