Understanding the Role of a Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorises a chosen individual, known as your attorney, to manage your financial and legal affairs. This can be particularly crucial in situations such as:

Absence or Inability:

Whether you're travelling, living abroad, or facing health-related incapacities, a Power of Attorney ensures continuous management of your affairs.

Expert Financial Management:

Appointing someone with the necessary experience and expertise to handle complex financial tasks, ensuring your assets and investments are well taken care of.

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Tamara as my Solicitor for the past 4 and a half years. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my protecting myself and my son. I went to Tamara scared and broken and she fought for us and saved me from a life of panic and fear and saved my son from a very dangerous person. I can’t thank her enough for the empathy, strength and loyalty she provided me. Not only did I receive the outcome I wanted, I also gained a lifelong friend.”
