Power Of Attorney
A power of attorney is a written authorisation to represent or act on another’s behalf in private affairs, business, or some other legal matter. The person authorising the other to act is the principal, grantor, or donor (of the power). The one authorised to act is the agent or attorney or, in some common law jurisdictions, the attorney-in-fact. A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf. It’s normally used when someone is unable to make their own decisions.
At SMB Solicitors, we can:
- Draft a power of attorney; and/or
- Witness signatures of the principal, or grantor, or donor of the power.
OUR FEES
We charge a fixed fee of £200 + VAT = £240 for drafting a power of attorney and we charge a fee of £20 (including VAT) for witnessing your signatures on your power of attorney and counter-signing the same.
