Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial)
Is a legal document by which you appoint a trusted person (referred to as “the attorney”) to make personal, financial, legal and property decisions on your behalf if you lose the mental capacity to do so yourself.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is conferred upon an individual you trust to make suitable financial and personal judgments 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
Every person possesses the right to make decisions about their own medical treatment. However, if you become incapable of making decisions, either on a temporary or permanent basis, you can opt to assign a representative who can make medical decisions on your behalf. The act of designating someone for this responsibility can be quite strenuous, but our team is here to help and guide you in deciding who and when you should nominate a trusted person to take on your medical decisions.
Advanced Care Directive
This document is legally binding and authorizes you to make definite preparations for your future health, care, and end of life circumstances. It documents your decisions and aspirations regarding medical treatment and details what medical treatment you do and don’t want in emergencies.
