A Power of Attorney (POA) grants someone you trust the authority to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. We help you establish robust POAs that protect your interests and ensure your wishes are respected.

  • LPAs for health and welfare decisions
  • Advance Decisions (Living Wills) to refuse specific medical treatments
  • Guidance on selecting suitable attorneys
  • Registration and ongoing support for attorneys

If you have minor children, guardianship planning ensures they are cared for by someone you trust should anything happen to you. We help you legally designate guardians who will provide a stable and loving home for your children.

  • Designation of guardians in your will
  • Trust structures to provide financial support for guardians
  • Consideration of family dynamics and potential conflicts
  • Regular reviews to ensure guardians remain suitable
