My parents are considering giving me Power of Attorney while they still have all their faculties. I understand that you cannot be given Power of Attorney whilst in a Trust Deed. The last payment to my Trust Deed is due at the end of this month. From this forum the Trust Deed should finalise in 6-8 weeks. Once the TD is finalised would I be able to take on the Power of Attorney role for my parents or does a further period of time need to pass?
Thanks

Hi Matt65.
There's no fixed period that your discharge will take, it varies from firm to firm.
However, once you've got your Form 5 and the discharge has been recorded on the (online) Register of Insolvencies you're finished with your trust deed.
Hi Matt65
TDA is correct as any restriction for a continuing power of attorney are lifted when you are discharged not the trustee.
