Power of attorney

Why you might need power of attorney

Without a power of attorney, nobody has an automatic right to make decisions on your behalf if you can no longer do so yourself.

Someone might have to go to court for a guardianship or intervention order before they could act on your behalf, if no power of attorney is in place.
