This service is no longer available through Halifax. To set up a power of attorney, head over to Lloyds.
Power of attorney (POA), specifically known as a lasting power of attorney (LPA) in England and Wales, is a legal document that lets you choose one or more people you trust to make decisions on your behalf. This includes if you can't make such decisions yourself, or don't want to – which could be due to illness or an accident.
