An enduring power of guardianship is a legal document appointing someone to make personal, medical and lifestyle decisions on your behalf. The appointment takes effect in the event of you becoming incapable of making your own decisions. When making decisions on your behalf, your guardian must:
- Take into account any wishes you have expressed.
- Act in your best interests.
- Wherever possible, make the same decision that you would have made.
You cannot appoint a person who is providing you with professional care, treatment or accommodation.
