Powers of attorney & guardianship

Life is unpredictable. The right documents let someone you trust step in if you can't manage your own affairs — and spare your family a crisis.

Part of our Wills & estates practice.

The process

How it works

Choose the right person

We help you decide who to appoint and what powers to give them.

Prepare it properly

We draft documents that are valid, clear and hold up when they're needed.

Keep it current

We review appointments as your life changes so they still reflect your wishes.

Good to know

Common questions

What is an enduring power of attorney?

A document letting a person you choose make financial or personal decisions for you if you lose capacity. 'Enduring' means it continues even then.

Is it the same as a will?

No. A will takes effect after death; a power of attorney operates while you're alive but unable to decide for yourself.

Can I change my mind?

Yes — while you have capacity you can revoke or change an appointment.

What if there's no power of attorney?

Your family may have to apply to a tribunal to be appointed — slower, costlier and stressful. Planning ahead avoids that.
