Quality Legal Services You Can Trust

Our firm can assist in the areas of: 

Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial)

This is a legal instrument whereby you assign a reliable individual (known as “the attorney”) to make personal, financial, legal, and property-related decisions for you, should you lose the mental capability to make such decisions.

You bestow an Enduring Power of Attorney upon a trusted individual to make beneficial financial and personal decisions for you.

Some responsibilities that an attorney can perform on your behalf include: settling your bills, signing documents, buying or selling real estate, and handling shares or bank accounts.

Medical Treatment Decision

Everyone has the prerogative to decide about their own medical treatment. But, if you find yourself unable to make these decisions either for a short period or permanently, you can select a medical decision-maker on your behalf. The process of appointing a person for this can be daunting, yet our team is prepared to guide and support you on whom and when you should designate a trusted individual to make medical decisions for you.

Advanced Care Directive

This is a legally enforceable document that allows you to articulate clear plans for your future health, care, and end of life issues. This document encapsulates your decisions and desires for medical treatment, and it specifies the medical treatment you want and do not want in emergency situations. You should involve your doctor when filling out an Advance Care Directive document.
