Is it possible to be appointed as someones power of attorney before your are discharged from a trust deed? I have 2 payments to go on my deed, but my brother is experiencing mental health issues, and wants someone to manage his financial affairs eg benefits - would he be allowed to appoint me, or does the deed prevent that like being bankrupt would?
Ideally we would set this up as fast as possible, but we might be able to wait till my deed was discharged if its a major stumbling block
Thanks!

Hi JJDecay.
Really sorry to hear about your brother’s illness.
There are old posts on here (from insolvency practitioner representatives) saying that this isn’t possible until you’ve been discharged.
I’m not aware that this has changed.
Is there anyone else who could take this on as an interim measure?
