Wills & Powers Of Attorney

Our services includes: Last Will and Testament, Powers of Attorney, and Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee Applications.

Wills are legal documents which describe the deceased's wishes for the allocation of their estate among beneficiaries. The document determines who receives property, cash, assets and any other tangible possessions, and in what quantities.

Testators can choose to allocate their possessions as they see fit, including to family members, friends, trusts and charities. They can also choose who will be guardians of their children, and what arrangements to make for their funeral and burial.

A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to act on your behalf if you are unable to make decisions about your medical care, property or finances.

Our lawyers will help you to write your Powers of Attorney in a way best suited to your interests. Writing a Power of Attorney while you have the capacity to do so allows you to control the situation and avoid the choice being forced upon you. A Power of Attorney for Personal Care describes what will happen to you and your health care, should you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions.  It allows you to detail the kinds of medical treatment to be applied in the event of a serious injury or illness or what measures to be taken to keep you alive in the event your condition deteriorates. You can specify things such as organ donation and pain management, allowing you to create a program that conforms to your values.

We assist with Applications for Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee. This is a Court Certificate which allows named Trustees to administer your Estate.  Our experienced Estates lawyers will provide practical advice and prompt service at a stressful time in your life.
