FAQs: Power of Attorney
When is the right time to set up a power of attorney?
The ideal time to arrange a power of attorney is while you still have full mental capacity. Planning early ensures your interests and wishes are safeguarded if you’re unable to make decisions in the future.
Can I appoint more than one attorney?
Yes, you can appoint multiple attorneys to act jointly, independently, or jointly for specific decisions. This provides added flexibility and personal reassurance.
Can a power of attorney be revoked or amended after it is registered?
Yes, provided you still have mental capacity, you can revoke or amend your lasting power of attorney at any time. The existing attorneys and relevant authorities must be informed accordingly.
What’s the difference between a Lasting Power of Attorney and a General Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney continues to be effective after the individual loses mental capacity, whereas a General Power of Attorney ceases to be valid if the individual loses capacity. LPAs are therefore more suitable for long-term planning.
How long does it take to register a Lasting Power of Attorney?
Typically, registering an LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian takes approximately 8 to 12 weeks from submission.
