Everyone likes to be in control of the decisions they make. However, sometimes events happen that mean we lose the amount of control we previously had. These can be simple problems such as being overseas and being unable to attend to your financial affairs, or serious problems such as losing the abaility to manage your own affairs as a result of an accient or illness. As part of the estate planning process, there are a number of arrangements that can be put in place to enable another person to make these decisions on your behalf. Such arrangements include Enduring Powers of Attorney, advance health directives and funeral plans.

An Enduring Power of Attorney may cover financial, personal & health issues. The payment of bills, making investment decisions, health decisions & other day to day issues that may arise - someone needs to continue making these decisions on your behalf.

Along with a current will, the Enduriing Power of Attorney would be one of the most important documents you should have. Please contact our office should you require further information or assistance with any matters relating to estate planning.
