FAQ

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?

A POA is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone (an “attorney”) to make decisions or act on your behalf regarding finances, property, health, and personal affairs.

Why should I create a Power of Attorney?

A POA allows you to designate someone you trust to manage your affairs if you cannot do so due to illness, incapacity, or unavailability.

What’s the difference between a General and a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A General Power of Attorney (GPA) is temporary and used for specific tasks, while a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) remains valid even if you lose mental capacity and covers health and financial decisions.

Can I revoke a Power of Attorney once it’s been drafted?

Yes, a POA can be revoked at any time as long as you have the mental capacity to do so. Simply inform your appointed attorney and destroy the original document.

Do I need a solicitor or a notary to draft a Power of Attorney?

A notary is essential for certain legal transactions, especially for POAs intended for international use. At White Horse Notaries, we ensure your POA is accurately drafted, notarised, and compliant.

How long does it take to draft a Power of Attorney

We aim to complete the drafting process within a few business days, depending on the document’s complexity and your needs.

Can a Power of Attorney be used abroad?

Yes, but it must be notarised and may require additional legalisation (such as an apostille) depending on the country. We can assist you through this process.
