Powers of Attorney If you are going overseas, or will be away from home for a while, and need to have documents signed while you are away, a power of attorney can be set up to allow your chosen person to sign on your behalf.  But a power of attorney cannot be used in all situations.  For example, not all power of attorney documents allow a person to sign as a trustee under a power of attorney.  Also, a power of attorney cannot be used to sign for an absent company director.  And some situations like medical issues and the infirm aged require a special power of attorney.  We can advise you on what is the best for you.  We prepare the documents, have you sign them and catalogue them in our deeds system so that they are readily available in case of need.
