Enduring Power of Attorney

The person you care for can ask you to act for them in many aspects of managing their affairs. Granting you 'power of attorney' does this. If the person you care for is worried he or she might lose their mental abilities - he/she can ask you to manage his/her affairs in the event that he/she become mentally incapable. This is called an 'Enduring Power of Attorney'. The person you care for can set up an Enduring Power of Attorney while fit and healthy which would only activate if he/she can no longer manage their affairs.
