You've chosen the Powers of Attorney option for both yourself and your spouse/partner. This form is divided into two parts: First Applicant's details and wishes, and then Second Applicant's details and wishes. Please fill in your information under "First Applicant" and then proceed to the "Second Applicant's" section. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

There are 3 types of PoA:

1. Continuing PoA – gives powers to deal with money and/or property. Continuing (financial) powers can be used by the attorney immediately after the PoA document has been registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). If the PoA is only to be used in the event of your incapacity, it must clearly state that the powers are not to be used until this happens. You may wish to add a statement about who should make this decision about your incapacity.

2. Welfare PoA – gives powers to make decisions around health or personal welfare matters. Welfare powers may only be acted upon after the PoA has been registered with  the OPG and when you have lost capacity to make decisions on matters to which the powers apply.

3. Combined PoA – gives continuing and welfare powers
The majority of PoAs registered with the OPG are a combination of continuing and welfare powers.

Your attorney must be aged over 16 and be willing to take on the role of attorney. There is no limit to the number of attorneys that you can appoint. It is possible to appoint a sole attorney or joint attorneys and substitute attorneys. You can appoint either individuals or an organisation, such as a firm of solicitors, as your continuing (financial) attorney. However, individuals only may be appointed as welfare attorneys. The law says that someone who is currently declared as bankrupt cannot be a continuing attorney.

A PoA is an important and powerful document. You need to give careful consideration who to appoint as your attorney. This should be someone you are confident will act responsibly and who has the necessary skills to carry out the tasks and make decisions on your behalf. It’s good practice to write down your thoughts or have a conversation with your attorneys to help them understand what is important to you, such as your:

Preferred place of residence and how that should be arranged
Food - likes and dislikes
Entertainment - likes and dislikes
Friends and others you’d like to keep in touch with
Birthdays of others you’d like support to remember
Spiritual or religious beliefs and practices
Lifestyle choices such as preference to be busy, or to sleep late at weekends
Activities – eg. walking, reading, watching television, music
Fluctuating capacity (or not), and how people can recognise when they should start helping you, and when to leave the decision making to you

We are ready to begin your spouse or partner's details and wishes. This form should be completed with your spouse or partner to ensure their wishes are accurately recorded. If the proposed Attorney(s) or Substitute(s) are to be the same as the First Applicant, for ease, type "same" or "mirror". If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
