NHS Inform: Updated Guidance on Power of Attorney and Guardianship

NHS inform has updated its guidance on Power of Attorney, Guardianship Orders and Intervention Orders.

The page provides accessible information on the different legal options available when someone may need support with making decisions about their welfare, finances or property. It also highlights the benefits of putting a Power of Attorney (PoA) in place early, before it may be needed in the future. The guidance includes information on:

  • Power of Attorney
  • Guardianship Orders
  • Intervention Orders
  • When each option may be appropriate
  • How to arrange a Power of Attorney
  • Sources of further information and support
  • This may be a useful resource for carers, families and professionals who support people in planning ahead.
