Powers of Attorney

Planning for the unexpected is a key aspect of estate planning. Our powers of attorney services include:

  • Enduring Powers of Attorney: We prepare enduring powers of attorney, allowing you to appoint someone you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become incapacitated.
  • Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker: We assist you in appointing a trusted person to make health-related decisions on your behalf should you be unable to do so.
  • Advanced Care Directives: We help you create advanced care directives to guide your appointed representatives in making medical decisions that align with your preferences.

Probate

Managing an estate can be complex and emotionally challenging. Our estate administration and probate services include:

  • Probate Applications: We assist executors in obtaining probate, ensuring that your will is validated and your estate is administered according to your wishes.
  • Estate Administration: We offer guidance to executors and administrators through the process of managing and distributing the estate, ensuring all legal obligations are met.

I engaged Terence and Grace after I was defrauded a significant sum of money. Being a victim of cyber fraud is extremely stressful and confronting. Thanks to them I felt an instant sense of relief when they took on my case and achieved a successful outcome within a short period of time. Terence and Grace were extremely knowledgeable in their case law and knew the strategic steps to take, to help me recover both my lost funds and interest. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and empathy they displayed to me, to achieve this extraordinary result. I am eternally grateful.
