COURT OF PROTECTION

.

Have you heard of this State-run organisation?

I guggest you follow the above link and read it all. It's another one of those things the State would prefer you had never heard of.

Then sometime in the coming week, go to a solicitor and have him make out a LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY, to ensure that YOU decide who has control over your affairs should you become incapacitated.

It's one of those things which, if you need it, it's too late to get it.

I'll be doing exactly that, this coming week. I will be giving the power to my youngest brother and sister. They know me better than anyone, and know what decisions I would make if I was of sound body and mind and was making said decisions for myself.

It shouldn't take any longer than about half an hour.

If the State would prefer you didn't know about this, then my experience says it's safer for you to know - and act on what you know.

UPDATE: You might have to pay to have the form registered and it has to be registered before it can be used (change of rule when Lasting Power of Attorney replaced Enduring Power of Attorney in 2007).
