Planning for the future isn’t always easy, but having the right legal guidance can help you protect what you have worked for over your lifetime and ensure that your family is cared for.

Estate Planning is the process of putting legal documents in place that will protect your assets and ensure the people making decisions on your behalf are people that you have nominated.

There are 3 documents that we typically discuss when estate planning:

  1. Will – this is the document that determines what happens to your assets when you pass away and who will take care of your estate (your Executor and Trustee).
  2. Power of Attorney – allows you to nominate someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf.
  3. Appointment of Enduring Guardian – allows you to nominate someone to make health and lifestyle decision for you if you lose capacity and can no longer make those decisions yourself.

A Will only operates once you have passed away and a Power of Attorney and Appointment of Enduring Guardian only operates when you are alive, once you pass away, they are void.

Drafting a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are respected after your passing.
