Scotland (Power of Attorney)

A Scotland Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone (the Donor) to appoint another person (the Attorney) to manage their financial affairs, make decisions, or handle specific tasks on their behalf. It can be set up to take effect immediately or only if the Donor loses mental capacity. This arrangement helps ensure personal and financial matters are managed smoothly during inability or absence. The process is regulated by Scottish law, and the Attorney has a duty to act in the Donor’s best interests, maintaining transparency and adherence to the terms set out in the document.
