I'm considering giving my (very much trusted) husband lasting power of attorney (financial and health). I am only middle aged but if I was to, say, end up in a coma in am accident I don't want there to be endless legal troubles if he needed to access my bank account or sell the house to pay for care or something.
I don't know whether to appoint a back up in case we both become incapable though. Maybe the person who is our executor (a good, trusted friend and very savvy).
Don't feel like I can ask this of my mum or siblings for various reasons,one being that my brother would be the children's guardian so would have enough on his plate.
Just musing really and wondering whether anyone else has done this at a young age.
