ENDURING POWER OF ATTORNEY
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to give your attorney (a person you select) the power to make financial decisions if you lose the capacity to make decisions for yourself. An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to plan for the unexpected, such as an accident or physical or other illness.
You can nominate 1 or more attorneys and say when their power will begin. You can give your attorney(s) the authority to make any decision that you could legally make yourself or limit their powers to terms set by you.
A financial attorney is responsible for all financial matters, including receiving income, paying bills, taxation and contractual issues, investment and financial planning, legal actions or property management.
ENDURING GUARDIANSHIP
Also known as an advance health directive in Queensland.
If you become seriously ill, you may be unable to communicate your healthcare decisions. A personal/health care attorney may make decisions such as where you live, who you live with, daily issues like diet and dress and giving approval for you to receive certain types of health care.
An Enduring Guardianship allows you to plan what medical treatment or health care you would like in the event that you cannot make decisions for yourself. It also enables you to appoint an attorney for health matters if you wish.
