What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document where one person (normally known as the Principal) gives another person the authority to make financial and medical decisions on their behalf while they’re still alive.

Financial Powers of Attorney are used to appoint a decision-maker to manage a person’s financial and legal affairs, whilst Medical Powers of Attorney (or an Enduring Guardianship) allows a person to choose a decision-maker to manage their health and lifestyle affairs.
