Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between General and Enduring Power of Attorney?

    General gives temporary authority, often for travel or illness. Enduring continues if you lose capacity, which is why most people set both up together.

  • Who should I choose as my Power of Attorney?

    Someone you trust completely to act in your best interests; this decision matters more than people often realise until it's needed.

  • Do I actually need a lawyer for this?

    It's not legally required, but the documents must be correctly drafted and witnessed, and getting it wrong can cause real problems exactly when you need it most.

  • Can I appoint more than one attorney?

    Yes, jointly, severally, or for different matters like finances versus health decisions.

  • Can I cancel it once it's signed?

    Yes, as long as you still have capacity, we can guide you through that process.

  • Does it need to be registered?

    Not always, but it depends on what it's being used for; we'll advise based on your situation.
