We often worry about what could happen should we become incapable of managing our affairs or making decisions due to old age, illness or injury. The good news is that you can prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney to appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf should it be necessary. Rather like taking out an insurance policy, putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place is a way of protecting yourself and your family against the unexpected.
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney, one deals with financial decisions such as operating a bank account or buying and selling property and the other addresses health and care decisions such as where you should live, arrangements for medical, dental, or optical treatment and your day to day care.
Stone king can help you decide what is best for you.
