Answer four questions. You will get the exact document name in your country, how to get it, and what to do if capacity has already been lost.
Question 1 of 4
Which country are you in?
POA documents have different names and different processes in each country. Select the country where the person lives.
Question 2 of 4
What do you need to be able to manage?
You can have separate documents for financial and medical decisions — or one document that covers both. What is your main concern right now?
Question 3 of 4
Does the person currently have mental capacity?
Capacity means they can understand information, retain it, weigh up the decision, and communicate their choice. A diagnosis of dementia does not automatically mean lost capacity — it depends on the decision and the day.
