Planning ahead in Scotland
What to consider before speaking to a solicitor
A Scottish power of attorney is an important legal document. Independent advice helps you decide which powers are suitable and who should be trusted to act for you.
Choosing your attorney
Consider someone you trust who understands your wishes and is willing to take on the responsibility. You may appoint more than one person and specify how they should make decisions.
Deciding which powers to grant
Powers may cover financial matters, welfare decisions or both. Your solicitor will explain the wording, safeguards and when different powers can be used.
Signing and registration
The document must meet Scottish legal requirements and normally needs to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used. Your solicitor can manage this process.
Common questions
Power of attorney questions
When should I make a power of attorney?
It is usually best to plan while you can understand and approve the document yourself. A solicitor can discuss your wishes, explain the available powers and confirm the appropriate next steps.
Can I change my power of attorney later?
Changes may be possible while you retain capacity, but the correct approach depends on the existing document and what you want to alter. Ask a Scottish solicitor for advice before relying on an amendment.
