An enduring power of attorney is a legal document which enables you to appoint a trusted person to make decisions for you – particularly if, through accident or illness you lose capacity to make them yourself.

Powers of attorney are very useful, but they are also very powerful. Mostly they are a force for good, allowing family or friends to provide practical help to a person who needs assistance. However, sometimes attorneys go too far or fail to understand what they are legally required to do when making decisions and/or transacting on your behalf.

Before signing a power of attorney document, and before accepting an appointment as an attorney, it is very important that you understand the true ramifications of the powers you are giving or the role you are accepting.

We provide a fixed fee service to prepare and explain a power of attorney.

We are also experts in dealing with the fallout when things go wrong.

See us about:

  • Enduring and General Powers of Attorney

  • Compensation claims under the Powers of Attorney Act and/or the Guardianship and Administration Act

  • QCAT proceedings - incapacity declarations; breach of duties; orders for approval and review; appointment and removal of attorneys, financial administrators and guardians
