We finally got round to doing ours on line, replacing the previous Enduring Powers of Attorney we made years ago.
I am starting this thread as it seems many have not thought of doing this. It is not because we don't have people we trust, it is to make their lives easier if we do become incapable. They will be able to make decisions about our health and our finances.
We have a friend whose Mil was unable to manage her affairs and they discovered that to help her they had to get the Public Guardian to give them permission. This was very expensive, a lengthy process and had to be repeated each year (I think).
It is easy to do online and costs £82 per LPA. You don't need a solicitor, www.gov.uk/power-of-attorney.

Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
