It’s not easy to think about a time when you won’t be able to make your own decisions, but it can help to be prepared.

There are a number of reasons why you might need someone to make decisions for you or act on your behalf.  If so, you will need to register a power of attorney, in advance, to give them permission.

Please note that you may well need to consider adding solicitors fees to the Registration fees  (which can make this quite expensive if you are considering handing over financial and health and care decisions).
