You cannot wait until something happens before appointing a power of attorney because you must have the legal capacity to understand the document itself and make decisions.

If you suffer an accident, or a stroke, which leaves you unable to understand, speak, communicate, or write you don’t have the legal capacity to make decisions. Then it’s too late. A person who has suffered an irreversible health issue, such as dementia or brain damage, may be unable to give power of attorney.

If you know a person who, due to age or health problems, may be at risk of suffering dementia, a stroke or any other serious illness, it might be a good idea to talk to them about giving power of attorney before it’s too late.
