Powers Of Attorney

Powers of attorney allow you to choose someone who you trust to make decisions for you if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. We can advise on and prepare a number of different powers of attorney.

An enduring financial power of attorney gives your attorney the legal authority to deal with your affairs should you become incapable of doing so. Your attorney can make financial and legal decisions and deal with banks and other institutions on your behalf.

If you want someone to make decisions for you for a limited time only, for example when you are overseas, you can make a general power of attorney. This power of attorney can give the attorney the power to make all financial and legal decisions for you during the specified time or it can be for a specific purpose only, such as buying a property.

Medical powers of attorney allow your attorney to make decisions about medical treatment on your behalf. Your attorney can make any medical treatment decisions that you could make if you were competent.

An enduring power of guardianship is a legal document where you appoint someone (the guardian) to make personal and lifestyle decisions for you, like where you live and the health care you receive.
