Power of attorney and guardianship Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland
Granting Power of Attorney is just as important as having a Will. Everyone should have one. The process is very straightforward. It is a written document which lets you plan what kind of things you want someone to do for you in the future if you, for any reason, are unable to make those decisions.
If you chose not to grant Power of Attorney your family/friends will have to approach the courts seeking Guardianship (see below) in the event of incapacity. Guardianship can be expensive when compared to the relatively inexpensive costs of Power of Attorney. You should act now if you wish to grant Power of Attorney.

A guardianship order may be required to authorise relatives or friends of an incapable adult to manage their physical and financial affairs, where there is not already a power of attorney in place.
