Loss of mobility or illness can make it difficult to manage your affairs
- An elderly relative losing capacity is difficult enough for loved ones to deal with, without the added worry that finances are not being appropriately handled.
- The prospect of unpaid bills can cause additional stress and anxiety at an already difficult time.
- Having someone you know and trust to manage your affairs is far preferable than a court official.
- People of all ages can need support due to accident or illness, not just the elderly.
Growing older can mean problems for us and our loved ones
What If I Am Unable To Manage My Affairs?
There may come a time in your life when you are unable to manage your financial affairs or personal welfare, owing to some form of incapacity, and you will need someone to act on your behalf.
Even when we are young, we can find ourselves incapacitated owing to illness or injury, and it is important to have a reliable person of your own choice appointed to manage your personal affairs, rather than someone appointed by the courts.
Similarly, as we get older, the need for an attorney increases as we are more prone to illness and injuries.
By creating a Power of Attorney in advance, you will have peace of mind that if the worst happens your financial affairs and personal welfare are in safe hands.
