Preparation of Wills and Powers Of Attorney

Overview

We assist clients in preparing legally sound wills and powers of attorney that accurately reflect their wishes and safeguard their interests.

This includes drafting both standard and complex wills, advising on the appropriate appointment of executors and guardians, and putting in place enduring powers of attorney for financial and personal matters. We also prepare advance health directives and regularly review and update existing documents to ensure they remain effective and aligned with changing circumstances.

FAQs

Why should I have both a will and an enduring power of attorney?

A will deals with what happens after death, while an enduring power of attorney allows someone you trust to make financial or personal decisions if you lose capacity during your lifetime. Together, they form a key part of forward planning.

How often should these documents be reviewed?

They should be reviewed whenever there is a significant change in your family, assets, health, or personal circumstances, and periodically even if nothing obvious has changed.

Can you update an existing will or power of attorney?

Yes. We regularly review and update existing documents to ensure they remain legally effective and continue to reflect our clients’ wishes and circumstances.
