While it’s a big decision, if you’re worried about managing your financial matters on your own, it may ultimately be the best for your wellbeing and give you peace of mind to give that control to somebody you trust when the time is right for you. If you think this is the right option for you, we can help you get information and support, to help make the process as easy as possible for you.

If you’re considering giving someone else the responsibility to manage your affairs and insurance policies, or you’ve been asked to be Power of Attorney for someone, we’re here to help make this as easy as we can.

For more specific help and support, see dementia and Alzheimer’s, and other serious illnesses here.

For further support, there are many organisations that can help – see our charities and organisations.

Please note, this page is written addressing people who may wish for someone else to manage their affairs. However, it may also be useful for any family, friends or carers who may be appointed with a lasting power of attorney (LPA) in future.
