Lasting power of attorney

Lasting power of attorney

With a lasting power of attorney, you can decide who will represent you and your interests if you are no longer able to do so yourself.

Finding yourself in a situation where you can no longer make your own decisions may feel distant – but it can happen suddenly and unexpectedly. With a lasting power of attorney, you can decide in advance who you want to represent you and manage your personal and financial affairs, for example if you were to become so ill that you can no longer make decisions yourself.

If you do not draw up a lasting power of attorney, the court will instead appoint a guardian or trustee to represent you. A lasting power of attorney therefore ensures that the person chosen to act on your behalf is someone you trust – such as your spouse, partner, children, another family member, or a close friend.

A lasting power of attorney can cover everything from housing matters and banking arrangements to managing your business and representing you in court and before public authorities. The appointed attorney can act independently and make important decisions for you without having to apply for approval from the supervisory authority. This means, for example, that your company’s operations can continue without interruption and that your home can be sold or managed smoothly. In this way, security and continuity are created for both you and your loved ones.

We provide a comprehensive solution tailored to your individual situation to ensure that your assets are managed in accordance with your wishes.
