Wills & Enduring Powers of Attorney

Assistance with Wills and Power of Attorney in Canberra

Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney
ACT & NSW

Your Will sets out the manner in which you want your property to be divided between your loved ones upon your passing. You work hard for your money so you should be in control of what happens to it when you pass away. Regardless of how much or how little you have, leaving a valid Will ensures that your assets and family heirlooms go to the people that you have chosen. A well prepared Will can also mitigate the likelihood of any family disputes arising in relation to your estate following your passing.

An Enduring Power of Attorney (“EPA”) operates during a person’s lifetime and allows you to appoint a person or multiple people (“Attorney’s") to act on your behalf should you be unable to do so yourself. Examples of this can include making medical decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated & unable to make these decisions for yourself due to illness or injury.

An EPA also permits your chosen Attorney to act on your behalf with regard to property and financial matters. An example of this may occur if you decided to purchase a property whilst overseas. Your Attorney could enter into that transaction on your behalf provided that the EPA is registered.

If you do not have an Enduring Power of Attorney, your loved ones may not be able to make decisions on your behalf.
