Private Client 
Power of Attorney

Our specialised legal team will consult thoroughly with you to discuss your options sensitively and confidentially and set up a power of attorney that will safeguard your welfare and give you peace of mind.

Specialised legal experts to ensure your future welfare is secure

While no one likes to think there may come a time when they are mentally or physically unable to look after their own affairs, but none of us can predict the future. That’s why putting a power of attorney in place is a positive step you can take to ensure your interests will be looked after should it no longer be possible for you to care for yourself.

A power of attorney is a deed of authority that gives a trusted individual the ability to act on your behalf – such as on financial and welfare matters – and make decisions for you when you are no longer capable. Once it is signed, it is set aside until needed. However, if you don’t have one in place some decisions won’t be possible, so your family may have to go to court to get a guardianship order, which is expensive and time-consuming.

While there are protections in place to guard against unscrupulous attorneys, it is important that you choose your attorney(s) carefully. Using a solicitor or paralegal with expertise in this area is crucial to make sure all the necessary steps are covered.

Our specialised legal team will consult thoroughly with you to discuss your options sensitively and confidentially and set up a power of attorney that will safeguard your welfare and give you peace of mind that you will be properly looked after if or when the time comes.

This is not a service we offer to consumers in England.

What our clients say

  • Jane Green

“I consulted Gilson Gray about the writing of my Will and the setting up of a Power of Attorney.
My wishes were interpreted with imagination and I was given what I consider to be sound advice. The whole process from initial discussion to the signing of all documents was straight forward.”

  • Peter Hunt
  • Legal Services

“…our dealings with you were second to none. We very much appreciate your involvement in our affairs during the early stages of the COVID lockdown and would have no hesitation in utilising your services, should they be required again in the future.”

  • Alison Sainsbury
  • Private Client

“I have found your advice invaluable and you and your team extremely approachable and efficient!

You take the time to explain things clearly (in easy to understand language), enable plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and discuss various options thoroughly – all which have greatly supported me in making an informed decision.

I have also appreciated having financial costs of your service being clearly defined from the onset.

You supported me previously to create my will and now more recently my Power of Attorney. I anticipated the process for both might be a bit overwhelming, however with your support every step of the way,  this has been a much easier process than I expected and I am delighted with the service you have provided!”
