How can you stop the person you appoint as your attorney taking advantage of you?

You can place limits on how your power of attorney is to be used. You may decide that your attorney is not allowed to sign a document or do something that leads to your attorney receiving a benefit. The power of attorney may be conditional upon your doctor providing a medical certificate to state that you have suffered a loss of capacity through unsoundness of mind.

There are many ways you can draft a power of attorney, so you should discuss your options with us. Then we can prepare the document according to your requirements.
