Client Story

One-hour turnaround time to get a power of attorney in place

Signing a power of attorney document

With a client in hospital, Lauren McGurk, Senior Associate in the Private Client team, had just an hours’ notice to assist her with getting her power of attorney in place. She travelled to Worcester Hospital to put the Lasting Power of Attorney in place and advised the family about their rights in regard to access to the sharing of medical information.

Following Lauren’s intervention, the family sent her this testimonial: “I wanted to write and thank you for what you did today. I think you must have the patience of a saint! I am amazed, to be honest, that you managed to lead this task to a conclusion, I doubted the possibility of it for quite a while!”
