If you want to choose someone to make decisions on your health and welfare when you cannot, then yes. That way, you can pick someone you trust and explain to them any preferences you have so that if the day comes when you cannot make those decisions yourself, they have the legal authority to do so on your behalf.

I chose Winston Solicitors to deal with my wife's estate on the recommendation of a family member. I was very satisfied with the friendly attitude of the team. Everything was dealt with as quickly as possible bearing in mind that some documents needed to dealt with by a family member in America. i was kept informed of progress every step of the way. Wonderful service.
