What is a Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney (‘EPA’) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make property and financial decisions on your behalf, in case you are unable to make those decisions yourself. The types of things an Enduring Attorney can assist you with include matters such as banking, paying bills, managing your assets, and conducting land transactions on your behalf.
The Importance of an Enduring Power of Guardianship
When planning for the future, many people focus on finances, property, and assets, but one aspect that is just as critical is planning for lifestyle and healthcare decisions. An Enduring Power of Guardianship (EPG) ensures these decisions are made by someone you trust, should you lose the capacity to make these decisions yourself. This may include decisions about where you live, the kind of medical treatment you receive, and what kind of personal care services you need.
Protecting the validity of your Will
At Peel Legal, we take certain steps to ensure your Will is executed validly. These steps are specifically designed to prevent challenges to your Will on the basis that it is invalid.
What is an Advance Health Directive?
If an accident or illness left you unable to make decisions about your health care, who would make those decisions for you? More importantly, how could you ensure that those choices reflect your own values and wishes?
Risk of Homemade/ Non-legally Prepared Wills
In our current cost of living crisis, it may be tempting to try and save a few dollars by attempting to prepare your will by yourself, without the help of a solicitor. However, like most legal documents, wills are complex affairs and there are countless technicalities and pitfalls that you can fall prey to.
