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.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is given to someone that you trust to make the right financial and personal decisions on your behalf.
Some of the functions an attorney can carry out for you include: paying your bills, endorsing documents, engaging in property transactions, and managing shares and bank accounts.

Each person has the right to make their own medical treatment choices. Yet, if you are incapacitated and unable to make decisions, whether temporarily or permanently, you can designate a medical proxy who can make medical decisions for you. Selecting someone to make these decisions can be challenging, but our team can provide guidance and support in determining who and when to appoint a trusted individual to handle your medical decisions.
