Would someone give me some advice on how you go about giving a relative power of attorney?

I am a older person who does not see herself getting married in the future. So I want to appoint my niece as the one to take care of burial expenses and such other affairs.Would someone give me some advice on how you go about giving a relative power of attorney?
You can always write a will.In this you can clearly explain what your wishes are.Obviously discuss this with your niece.





It would also be advisable to write an ';Enduring power of attorney';. This would give her the legal right to manage your affairs if you became incapable of doing so through illness or age





Do these things NOW while you are able. They always can be changed if your circumstances alter in the futureWould someone give me some advice on how you go about giving a relative power of attorney?
Contact a lawyer, and he can draw up legal papers for your wishes. Thats how its done!!
....
Get your lawyer to help you write out a will and then the power of attorney. He can give you legal advice to make it iron clad and no one can challenge it. My sister works for a lawyer and you ought to here about the messes she sees all the time because things weren't done right and the relatives fought over who did what and got what. Do it right and then you can die knowing it will be done they way you want.
Make an appointment to see a solicitor/lawyer. They will do it for you and it isn't expensive. They will give you the paper work for your niece to sign and you just send it back to the solicitor/lawyer. Your niece must be aware of this. Doing it this way, there are no problems.
A Power of Attorney is a document that is only valid while you, the giver of the Power, is alive. It is so another person can manage your financial affairs. If you want it to continue even if you lose your mental faculties, then a solicitor needs to witness your signature and complete a declaration that they explained the effect of the Power to you.


So really you need to see a solicitor to have one prepared.


If what you are wanting to do is to have your niece arrange your funeral/burial, then really you should be appointing her as your executor under your will, which is a different document altogether. Hope this assists.
There are numerous forms available online. You would need to fill them out and then have them notarized by a notary public.
The best and probably only legal way is to establish a trust! This must be done through an attorney. The good news,,it's not all that expensive! Best to you! ;-)=
See an attorney!
