Have you got your will and a power of attorney in place?

Guidance issued this year by the British Bankers’ Association has made it common practice for high street banks to freeze withdrawals from a joint account if one of the accountholders is mentally incapable, until an attorney or deputy is appointed. It is yet another reason for people to have a power of attorney in place and registered ready for use.

Please contact Peter Taaffe if you would like some guidance on finding a solicitor to help you with this.
