Wills and Estate Planning
The effective preparation of your Will and planning of your overall estate and its allocation is critical. Marriage, separation or divorce, house purchases and other significant events may all impact on the way you manage your assets and how you would like your estate to be distributed after your death. Obligations under the law to family members and others also need consideration and for some people the tax consequences of the succession process are critical.
Also, the importance of having Enduring Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Enduring Guardian documents in place cannot be underestimated. The granting of an Enduring Power of Attorney and Guardianship will ensure that a person nominated by you can act in your best interests in the event of loss of capacity by reason of dementia, accident or illness, an absence overseas, or a need for lifestyle choices including medical care and accommodation.
