If
you are retired and your mental capacity is good, we strongly
recommend that you consider setting up an Enduring Power of
Attorney (EPA). They are really simple. |
|
| |
Hopefully
it will gather dust with your Will, but it could prove invaluable
if you lose your capacity to deal with your finances. If this
does happen and you don't have an EPA, your finances will fall
under the control of the Court of Protection. |
|
| |
With
an EPA, your nominated Attorney(s) (usually a close family member)
would register with the Court of Protection and (subject to
the Enduring Powers of Attorney Act 1985) be in control. |
|
| |
The
Court of Protection is well meaning but incredibly restrictive,
intrusive and cumbersome. We have seen it at close quarters
and you wouldn't wish it on your family. |

If
you (or anyone in your family) are over 65 please give
this careful thought and call us if you would like to know more:
