Someone else managing your affairs

• Power of Attorney (POA) allows someone to manage another person’s affairs
• POA might be needed for ill health, mental ill health, disabilities, or leaving the country
• POA should be given to someone you trust who will act in your best interests
• There are various types of POA so consider which is most appropriate for you
• A certified copy of the POA certificate will allow us to deal directly with the attorney
• There is more information on the Citizens advice website and you should speak to a solicitor
