A will-writing specialist service in York are recommending that residents make organising their will and putting a Power of Attorney in place a priority.
While it may not be at the top of most traditional lists of jobs for the New Year— it’s never too early to make these important documents, however, it can be left too late. A Lasting Power of Attorney enables you to appoint people you trust to be your voice and have the practical powers they need to be able to help and make decisions for you— in the event you become unable to do so.
Denise Crispin-Bailey of York’s Richardson’s Wills says,
“If you don’t have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, your family will need to obtain permission to act for you from the Court of Protection. This can be a very stressful and expensive process that can take several months and cost thousands of pounds in legal and medical fees. In the meantime, your family will be stuck and unable to assist you.”
