- Specifying how your assets will be distributed to your loved ones, exactly as you wish.

Estate Planning Lawyers
Don’t just write a will, create a comprehensive estate plan. In addition to a will, a comprehensive estate plan may include other important documents, such as an enduring power of attorney and an enduring guardianship. These legal documents can help protect your interests and ensure your wishes are carried out if you ever lose the capacity to make decisions for yourself.
- Enduring Power of Attorney: This document allows you to appoint a trusted individual, known as an attorney, to manage your financial affairs on your behalf. This can be particularly useful if you become incapacitated due to illness or injury.
- Enduring Guardianship: An enduring guardianship, on the other hand, authorises someone to make decisions about your personal and healthcare matters if you are unable to do so yourself. This can include decisions about where you live, what medical treatment you receive, and other lifestyle choices.
Our wills and estate lawyers can guide you through the process of establishing these important documents, ensuring they are legally valid and tailored to your specific needs. By including these additional documents in your estate plan, you can provide even greater peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones.
