Power of Attorney Day

Carers UK are running an awareness campaign about Power of Attorney for carers. For those who don’t know, a power of attorney is a legal document that can ensure a person’s wishes are respected, should they be in a position where they are no longer able to express their own wishes directly. It can provide clarity in emergencies and can avoid stressful decision-making at a time of crisis. 

For many carers, organising Power of Attorney for the person they care for can be very daunting and complicated to navigate. Carers UK, in partnership with Standard Life, have organised Power of Attorney Day on 22nd April to provide guidance and information on this topic.
