Being next of kin doesn’t automatically give you a say

We often assume that close relatives can automatically make decisions on our behalf if something happens to us, but this isn’t true.

Being ‘next of kin’ does not have the same legal decision-making ability as power of attorney.

The first ever UK wide Power of Attorney day will be on the 22nd April 2026.

Carers Scotland and Standard Life have joined forces to launch the first ever UK-wide Power of Attorney Day which will take place on Wednesday 22 April 2026. The initiative aims to raise awareness and understanding of powers of attorney and to encourage more people to put them in place.
A power of attorney is a legal document that can ensure a person’s wishes are respected, should they be in a position where they are no longer able to express this directly. For carers, having power of attorney in place can provide clarity and avoid stressful decision-making during difficult emergency situations.
In Scotland, a Power of Attorney (PoA) allows an individual to appoint a trusted person to make decisions on their behalf. Anyone aged 16 or over can set up a Power of Attorney, but it must be done while they still have mental capacity to make their own decisions.
To find out more about Power of Attorney Day, visit https://powerofattorneyday.org.uk/
For more information about Power of Attorney and how to make one visit https://www.mygov.scot/power-of-attorney

At Guardian Live-In Care, we believe that the best place to feel safe, comfortable, and truly yourself is at home. 💙

Live-in care offers a personalised alternative to residential care, providing one-to-one support tailored to each individual’s needs and routines. From help with daily tasks and medication, to companionship and emotional support, our carers are there every step of the way.

Staying at home means keeping familiar surroundings, cherished memories, and independence—while having the reassurance that someone is always there when needed.

It’s not just about care, it’s about living well at home.
