Future power of attorney

• Future power of attorney

Decide for yourself who will take care of you - before someone else does.

A Future Power of Attorney is a new, personal alternative to good man and trustee. Through this legal document, you can choose yourself who are responsible for your personal and financial interests if you become ill or for some other reason can no longer make your own decisions. A power of attorney for your future, on the other hand, does not apply to decisions regarding medical care

Why establish a power of attorney for the future?

1. Secure your own future

With all that aging entails or if an accident occurs, it may be too late. With power over your future, you avoid the risk of being ruled by a randomly selected good man. In this way, you can instead decide for yourself someone you trust, for example a close friend or relative.

2. Facilitate the family

Before a good man or administrator has been appointed, relatives are often without legal options to help the person who can no longer make their own decisions. With a power of attorney for the future, your relatives know who are responsible for your personal and financial interests and they can feel secure.

3. An extra security

An ordinary power of attorney risks losing its validity if the person giving the power of attorney has lost his ability to make independent decisions, something that can happen in the case of dementia, for example. Therefore, it is wise to protect yourself with a power of attorney for the future, which also comes into effect at the time it is written.
