An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that appoints someone to manage your finances and property in the event that you become incapacitated due to an accident or illness. If you do not have an Enduring Power of Attorney and you become incapacitated, someone would be required to make an application for Trusteeship over you. A Trusteeship Application can be costly, and the person who becomes your trustee may not have been your first choice to manage and control your finances. To ensure that your property and financial affairs are properly managed on your behalf, it is important that you have an Enduring Power of Attorney.

A Personal Directive is a legal document wherein you appoint someone to make personal decisions on your behalf in the case of incapacity. These decisions may include medical decisions, living and working arrangements, and end-of-life decisions. Making your wishes clear in a legal document can lift a heavy burden from your loved ones in the event of your incapacitation. If you do not have a Personal Directive and you become incapacitated, your loved ones would need to make a court application for Guardianship to make any decisions regarding long-term care. This can be costly, and it may result in someone besides the person you would have preferred making decisions for you.

When a person passes away, if they have a Will, it governs how the estate is administered. Depending on the type of assets being dealt with, the executor may be required to apply for a Grant of Probate. If a person passes away without a Will, they are said to have died “intestate,” and the estate will be administered in accordance with the Wills and Succession Act, RA 2010. Depending on the assets to be distributed, the person acting as Personal Representative of the Estate may be required to apply to the courts for a Grant of Administration. Our office is able to help you obtain the Grants of Probate and Grants of Administration you need.
