Too many of us put off a task that should be done sooner rather than later: making a power of attorney (POA). This legal document lets you give at least one other person the right to make decisions on your behalf about your health and/or finances. Having a power of attorney in place is useful if you become unable to make decisions yourself – for example, due to illness. In this episode presented by James Rowe, Which? senior researcher Megan Thomas shares some new Which? data showing that just 1% of those surveyed created their POA before the age of 50. Megan is joined by James Buchan from the Which? legal team, who explains what can go wrong if you don’t have a POA set up, including how costs can spiral due to ongoing court fees and how it can lead to fractured relationships between family members and loved ones.

The number of pensioners getting divorced is on the rise, but hardly any of us actually understand what happens to our pensions when a marriage ends. In this episode, Which? pensions expert Holly Lanyon reveals the results of a Which? Survey which shows that just 3% of married couples have talked about what would happen to their pensions if they got divorced - compared to 50% who’d spoken about what would happen upon death. Holly explains the different options for how pensions can be split on divorce, including pension sharing and pension offsetting, and why it’s so important for married couples to understand the rules.

Shopping online has become the convenient way to shop for almost anything, but given there’s no standardised way of returning unwanted items, the process can differ from one retailer to another. In this episode of Which? Shorts, we bring you the results of our investigation which saw mystery shoppers from across Great Britain order and return more than 200 items to find out how big-name retailers compare. We uncovered some shocking practices; with several retailers not refunding us at all, others breaking the law by routinely failing to reimburse our delivery fees and huge discrepancies in how long it took us to get our money back.
