What's a power of attorney
Power of attorney is a legal document that allows you (the donor) to appoint a person, multiple people or an organisation to manage your finances, if you become unable to do so.
Your chosen attorney needs to be at least 18 years old, and they can’t be declared bankrupt.
If the attorney doesn’t bank with first direct and they’re registering a lasting power of attorney, they’ll need to provide us with identification.
