Powers of Attorney - Updated Law Society Guidance
- Details
There has been a recent update to Law Society of Scotland guidance regarding Powers of Attorney
While Powers of Attorney ordinarily need to be signed in the presence of a Solicitor or a Doctor, recent Law Society of Scotland guidance has confirmed that this can now be done by way of video conference, meaning that Powers of Attorney can still be signed, registered and made available for use, where required.
