Online Estate Planning FAQs
An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to nominate one or more persons, (referred to as attorneys), to act on your behalf. An enduring power of attorney gives the attorney the authority to manage your legal and financial affairs, including buying and selling real estate, shares and other assets, operating your bank accounts and spending money on your behalf.
See our article: everything you need to know about a POA.
An Enduring Guardianship Appointment allows someone else to make medical and lifestyle decisions on your behalf.
It is important that you trust the person you appoint as your enduring guardian to make appropriate lifestyle decisions on your behalf and that you discuss with them what your wishes are.
An advance care directive is sometimes known as a living will. It outlines your preferences for your future care (if you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself) along with your beliefs, values and goals. Having an advance care directive means you can also formally appoint a substitute decision-maker for when you can no longer make decisions yourself.
Advance care directives differ between states and territories, so it’s important to check what forms you need for your relevant state. The form we have provided is for NSW only.
If you would like to complete an Enduring Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardian or Advanced Care Directive on someone else’s behalf, for example a parent, there are certain steps that you must follow first before completing these documents online.
Our Wills & Estate Lawyers will first need to talk to the person you wish to complete it for via video call or in person to determine their testamentary capacity.
