Business Ethics

Power of Attorney Policy

At Lex Union, we are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards and ensuring that the best interests of our clients are at the heart of everything we do. An essential aspect of this commitment is our focus on the ‘Power of Attorney’ process. We firmly believe that safeguarding your interests requires careful and responsible handling of this important responsibility.

Unlike some companies who may list multiple names, including administrative staff, on the ‘Power of Attorney’ document due to internal data systems or convenience, we take a different approach. Our company policy dictates that only one person will be appointed with the Power of Attorney at any one time, per case.The Importance of the Singular Power of AttorneyWe consider the practice of listing multiple people in the ‘Power of Attorney’ to be a potential source of risk and vulnerability for our clients. By designating just one person, we can ensure greater clarity, accountability and a more efficient decision-making process.
