Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal document authorising another person (‘your Attorney’), such as a trusted friend or relative, to act on your behalf in your affairs. Your Attorney can act for you if you are (for example) overseas, suffer poor health or have an accident, or reach an age when you need greater assistance with personal and financial obligations. Knowing you have an Attorney to act for you can give you peace of mind. A Power of Attorney operates during your lifetime and requires carefully consideration.
Advance Health Directive
An Advance Health Directive is a document which allows you to give directions about your future health care should you lose capacity to make your own decisions.
