# Power of Attorney UK
A Power of Attorney (PoA) is a legal document that grants someone the authority to act on your behalf in financial, legal, or health matters. In the United Kingdom, having a valid PoA ensures your affairs can be managed if you become unable to do so yourself, providing peace of mind and legal clarity.
