Use this pack to appoint another person (called your ‘attorney’) to look after your financial affairs in the event that you lose capacity to do so yourself. This particular power of attorney is only for use where you live in Scotland and will only permit your attorney to look after your financial affairs. If you would like to appoint an attorney to look after your welfare, i.e. your health and social needs, use the ‘Welfare power of attorney’, or if you would like to have the same attorneys look after your financial affairs and your personal welfare, use the document ‘Continuing and welfare power of attorney’.
Your attorney can either take up this power immediately or, if you choose, not until two doctors certify that you are incapable of making these decisions for yourself. This power of attorney will allow you to appoint up to three attorneys, or a sole attorney in combination with a substitute attorney.
Start the process by completing the document ‘Continuing power of attorney’ and, once this is completed, use our document ‘Certificate for Scottish powers of attorney’.
