Powers of Attorney – Planning for loss of capacity
Powers of Attorney allow you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. These decisions include financial matters, personal/lifestyle matters and medical treatment decisions. Having these arrangements in place may assist in avoiding uncertainty and ensuring decisions are made by the right people.
This may involve:
- Preparing Enduring Powers of Attorney for financial and legal decisions
- Preparing Appointments of Enduring Guardian (or equivalent) for personal/lifestyle and medical decisions
- Guidance with respect to the preparation of Advanced Health Directives
- Guidance on the operation of these documents
- Ensuring appointments are clear and legally effective
