Trustworthy Legal Services

Our firm can assist in the areas of: 

Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial)

This legal document enables you to nominate a trustworthy person (named as “the attorney”) to handle your personal, financial, legal, and property matters if you lose the mental capacity to manage them yourself.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is given to someone that you trust to make the right financial and personal decisions on your behalf.

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 a right to make their own medical treatment decisions. However, if you are unable to make decisions either temporarily or permanently then you can choose a medical who can make medical decisions on your behalf. Appointing a person to make medical decisions for you can be very burdensome, however our team can guide and assist you as to whom and when you appoint a trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf.

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.
