You may find a time in your life when you are unable to manage your financial affairs due to illness or incapacity, and you will need someone to act on your behalf. People of any age may be inflicted by illness, and in need of someone they trust to take over the running of their finances.

As we get older, we are more prone to illness and injuries. However, the time when an Attorney is most likely to be required is with advancing age, when mind and body are deteriorating. 

Appointing an Attorney in advance ensures your peace of mind for the time in the future when you need a safe pair of hands of your choice to manage your welfare and finances.

Incapacity through either ageing, illness or immobility can cause the following:

• It becomes difficult to manage one’s financial affairs.
• The prospects of unpaid bills can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety and delay recovery from illness.  
• Even the young will find it challenging to manage their affairs if they suffer an accident or illness.
