Who can override a power of attorney? UK estate planning law experts Walker Foster Solicitors explain how POAs can protect your assets.
Powers of Attorney (PoA) and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) provide peace of mind that, should you become unable to make decisions yourself, a trusted person you have chosen will act on your behalf. They will be able to manage your affairs in line with your wishes, ensuring important matters are handled with care and responsibility.
When someone dies, everything they own - known as their estate - must be carefully managed and distributed in accordance with their wishes as set out in their will. This process involves not only passing assets to the chosen beneficiaries but also handling debts, taxes and legal formalities along the way. For many, this can be a daunting and emotional task, especially during a time of grief.
