The costs of creating and lodging a P.O.A. are rising annually and statistics show 75% of Scots are likely to require the use of a P.O.A. in their lifetime.
A P.O.A. greatly simplifies the process at the most difficult time for you and your family, which also highlights how important it is to plan early when it comes to setting up a P.O.A. .
Glasgow Funeral Plans are experts in handling Power Of Attorneys to clients in and around Glasgow. We understand how important creating a P.O.A. is, and therefore take the greatest care in creating a clear, comprehensive and binding P.O.A. best suited to you and your requirements.
What is a P.O.A. ?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document which gives authority to an individual (invariably a family member or close friend) to act/make decisions on your (the Granter) behalf. P.O.A. can help deal with both financial and/or welfare matters, and is carefully created according to your wishes.
Why Should I Have a P.O.A. ?
When it comes to having a P.O.A. created on your behalf, it’s important to do so as soon as you can. It’s unfortunate that P.O.A. ’s are required during what is no doubt a difficult, testing, and stressful time for you and your family. If one does not have a P.O.A. in place when needed, it can add much unneeded stress and imminence to what is already an extremely difficult situation.
On average, solicitors can charge £200 per hour to create and complete a P.O.A. , adding financial strain to your situation.
At Glasgow Funeral Plans, we charge a simple, flat rate for a friendly consultation, expert advice, and the formation and lodging of your Power Of Attorney document. Additionally, if you and your partner both require a P.O.A. (as is often the case), we happily provide a discounted rate for both partners. Once lodged, your P.O.A. is safe and secured for the remainder of your life.
Unfortunately pricing generally reflects the quality of product you receive. Analogies we often tell our clients is that people do not often think twice about insuring their house against fire damage but you are far more likely to need someone to look after your affairs if you are unable, than the likelihood of your house catching fire. Again one would not buy the cheapest baby car seat for your child, then why would you endeavour to obtain the cheapest Power of Attorney, which could potentially offer you and your family greater protection.
Once lodged, your P.O.A. is safe and secured for the remainder of your life!
