You can decide whether you would like your Power of Attorney to start immediately upon your attorney accepting their appointment by signing the document OR you may elect for your Power of Attorney to start only in the event that you lose capacity and are deemed to be unable to manage your financial and legal affairs.

Rayners Lawyers can help you decide which option is right for your unique circumstances and ensure it is clearly documented in your bespoke power of attorney document.
