Wills are important because they provide a level of certainty to after-life distribution of property. Wills also evidence our lives and can allow for appointments of guardians for our children, make charitable gifts, establish testamentary trusts and care for pets and personal property.
Powers of Attorney are financial documents that allow your nominated attorney to make financial decisions on your behalf. They are becoming increasingly useful because our busy and frantic personal and professional lives mean that sometimes we are not around to sign contracts, execute documents or deal with our own finances.
This document also allows appointment of one or more attorneys to act on specific matters or as an ongoing power of attorney. They make life easier for your loved ones if you lose mental or physical capacity and allow your attorney to make those important financial decisions without the need for your presence.
Enduring Guardian documents are medical documents that allow another person to make health and lifestyle decisions on your behalf if you have lost mental or physical capacity. They make life easier for your loved ones if you lose mental or physical capacity because your guardian can make those important medical decisions in circumstances where you cannot make those decisions yourself.
We provide an easy, no-obligation online system that guides you through everything you need to know about estate planning.
