Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney, Enduring Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardianship and Living Wills are important legal documents. 

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal instrument which enables an individual to manage the financial affairs of another individual.  

Enduring Power of Attorney

An enduring POA is where a power of attorney continues to be effective even if the principal has lost mental capacity. An enduring POA applies only to financial decisions and helps clients to plan ahead in case they lose the ability to make decisions in future, whether due to illness or other cause.

Enduring Guardianship

An individual can apply to be appointed as an enduring guardian of another individual under an enduring guardianship appointment. The enduring guardian can make decisions relating to your accommodation, medical and dental care in the event that you are unable to do so. 

Living Wills

A Living Will enables you to formally state your wishes in regards to your future healthcare wishes and directives should the circumstances arise that you are unable to communicate at that point in time. This can be in regards to the kind of palliative care you would like to receive. Your personal, religious and cultural beliefs will play a role in what decisions you wish to be made in such circumstances.
