A Power of Attorney is a vital document which allows you to appoint a person or persons to make decisions for you during your lifetime.

We have extensive experience working with clients to create a Power of Attorney to suit their needs. Whether you need a General Power of Attorney for a certain event or period of time or an Enduring Power of Attorney to plan for the future, IM Lawyers can provide guidance and assistance.
