Power of attorney Faqs

A Power of Attorney is a caring arrangement where you can appoint a trusted person (known as an “attorney”) to make important decisions on your behalf. This includes managing your finances and health, especially if you become unable to do so yourself due to illness, injury, or mental incapacity.

There are two main types:

Property and Financial Affairs: This type allows your chosen attorney to manage your finances.
Health and Welfare: This type enables your attorney to make decisions about your healthcare and well-being on your behalf.

It’s important to choose someone you trust wholeheartedly, someone who truly understands your wishes and has the capability to manage both your finances and healthcare needs with care and diligence.

Depending on the document, a Power of Attorney can either take effect immediately or only when you lose mental capacity, which is usually confirmed by a medical professional.

To cancel a Power of Attorney, you’ll need to create a new document that clearly states your intention to revoke the previous one. This new document may need to be registered with the relevant authority.

The Dee and Griffin Team in Cheltenham were amazing! They helped me with both my purchase of my new house and sale of my old property. They kept me updated throughout the whole process and also gave me advice where needed. Nothing was too much for them and they were a lovely bunch and always picked up the phone when I called, I would highly recommend – will definitely be using them in the future!

A family member had recommended Emily Leadbeater from Dee & Griffin to me, when I needed help and advice about removing a tenant from a property that I rented out. The Letting Agent did not have all the paperwork that was required to go through the usual Court route. After talking to Emily, I felt that she totally understood what needed to be done and was onto it straight away. She was extremely efficient and gave me such a lot of help and support when I really didn’t know what to do for the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would definitely go to her again if needed. Thanks so much Emily, your help was really appreciated!

Leah and Molly have been amazing throughout the process. They were quite understanding with my situation as a first-time buyer and always treated my queries (even the silly ones) with patience and respect. They took into consideration all my demands and requirements while negotiating with the sellers and I am quite happy with the outcomes. I’ll surely be hiring them again for my future purchases if any.

- Mr N, Quedgeley

We cannot recommend Dee and Griffin more! They have helped make the process of buying our first home so stress free. We had amazing contact from Molly in particular from start to finish and she was always super efficient in dealing with any of our questions or concerns. A huge thank you to the whole team at the Quedgeley office.

- Mrs S, Quedgeley

I purchased my first home today. The team at Dee & Griffin made the whole process as smooth sailing (reduced my stress levels with their calm approach) as possible. All the staff were very professional, and informative. I would highly recommend this team for buying a house. Thank you for all you did for me.

- Mr E, Quedgeley

The service I received was outstanding especially by Jess Thomas. This was the first time I had ever bought and sold a house alone since my husband died and I was so worried about everything. Jess was so reassuring and took time to talk to me about all aspects of the sale and purchase. She is a real credit to the company.
