This document allows you to nominate up to six people to make decisions about your health and social welfare in the event that you can no longer do so yourself. You can also set restrictions and leave guidance on what decisions they can make. Once completed, this document must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). However, a separate fee will be payable to the OPG. Once registered, the power comes into effect when you lose the mental capacity to make decisions for yourself (e.g. you are comatose or suffering from dementia).
Most documents take about 15 - 45 minutes
You can try the service out beforehand, and can save your progress at any time and come back to the document later.
