Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial)
This is a legal instrument whereby you assign a reliable individual (known as “the attorney”) to make personal, financial, legal, and property-related decisions for you, should you lose the mental capability to make such decisions.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is given to someone that you trust to make the right financial and personal decisions on your behalf.
A few of the roles an attorney can fulfill on your behalf are: settling your bills, signing papers, executing property transactions, and managing shares or bank accounts.
