Enduring Power of Attorney

An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Our services include:

  • Drafting and Preparation: We help you create an Enduring Power of Attorney document that clearly outlines your wishes and grants the necessary powers to your chosen representative.
  • Legal Guidance: We provide expert advice on selecting the right person to act as your attorney, ensuring they understand their responsibilities and obligations.
  • Revocation and Updates: We assist in updating or revoking your Enduring Power of Attorney if your circumstances or preferences change.

Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker

An Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker (which replaces the Medical Power of Attorney) ensures that your healthcare decisions are made by someone who understands your values and wishes. Our services include:

  • Creating an Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker: We help you designate a trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so.
  • Advanced Care Directives: We assist in creating advanced care directives that guide your appointed representative in making healthcare decisions aligned with your preferences.
  • Review and Consultation: We offer consultations to review your Medical Power of Attorney and advanced care directives to ensure they accurately reflect your current wishes.

General Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney is useful for managing your affairs during a specific period or for a particular purpose. Our services include:

  • Temporary Powers: We draft General Power of Attorney documents for situations where you need someone to handle your financial or legal matters for a limited time.
  • Specific Authority: We ensure the document specifies the scope and limits of the powers granted, protecting your interests while giving your representative the authority they need.
  • Termination and Renewal: We provide guidance on terminating or renewing the General Power of Attorney as your needs change.

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.
