Hey Lus? Can I ask you a quick Brit-picky question?
Is there a specific term in the UK that is the equivalent of the US's "durable power of attorney"? (The person who would make all medical decisions for someone else in case of emergency or catastrophe, should the someone in question be incapacitated in any way. For example: if someone were in a coma, their durable power of attorney would make the decision to keep them on life support or not.)
