Choose someone you trust, such as a family member or friend, as they will have the power to make decisions that directly affect you. Appoint someone capable and available to handle the powers that you grant to them. You may also choose a trust corporation to act as your attorney. There are some limitations as to who you can appoint as your attorney. You may not appoint the following people:
People under the age of 18
People who are bankrupt
People convicted of offences involving fraud or dishonesty
People disqualified under the Companies Acts
Also, you cannot appoint an individual or trust corporation who owns a nursing home in which you live or an employee or agent of the owner, unless that person is also your spouse, civil partner, child, or sibling.
