Your Enduring Power of Attorney
Enduring Power of Attorney
An enduring power of attorney allows you to nominate one or more persons (referred to as ‘attorneys’) to manage your legal and financial affairs. Your attorney’s power to manage your affairs will continue if you lose mental capacity for any reason.
We have expertise in drafting bespoke powers of attorney which are suitable to your circumstances. e.g., it may be important to give your attorney power to act on your behalf to:
- buy and sell real estate, shares and other assets
- operate your bank accounts
- manage your superannuation and other investments
- pay your bills
- spend your money
- confer benefits on your spouse and children for their reasonable living and medical expenses
We are also able to include appropriate conditions and restrictions on your attorney’s power. For example, you may wish to restrict your attorney’s power to sell your family home or to alter who you have named as the beneficiary of your superannuation.
