Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney (POA) in Australia is a legal document that allows a person (the principal) to appoint another person (the attorney) to act on their behalf in financial, legal, or medical matters. It is a powerful and practical tool that can be useful in various situations. For individuals engaged in Wills & Estate Planning in WA, a Power of Attorney ensures that your wishes are respected if you become incapacitated or unable to manage your own affairs. Here are some key reasons to use a Power of Attorney in Australia:

Managing Affairs When You’re Unavailable

If you travel frequently, work overseas, or cannot be physically present for critical financial transactions, a POA allows a trusted person to handle matters on your behalf. While primarily a civil legal tool, it’s important to ensure your Power of Attorney is properly drafted to avoid potential legal complications, including those that could involve Criminal Law in cases of misuse or fraud.

In Case of Illness or Incapacity

If you become mentally or physically unable to manage your affairs due to illness, injury, or age-related conditions such as dementia, an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) ensures that someone you trust can continue making decisions for you.

Handling Financial and Property Matters

A POA enables someone to manage your bank accounts, pay bills, sell or buy property, and make investments if you are unable to do so yourself.

Medical and Personal Care Decisions

A separate document called an Enduring Power of Guardianship (EPG) or an Advance Care Directive allows an appointed person to make health and lifestyle decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.

Avoiding Legal Complications

Without a POA, family members may need to apply to a court or tribunal to gain the authority to make decisions for you, which can be time-consuming, costly, and stressful.

Not transparent about costs, huge, absolutely over the top premises, used a standard will document and just inserted our names for an exhorbitant charge. His friends must have written the positive reviews.

Ryan is an exceptional lawyer, he has a lot of knowledge and his advice is fair and reasonable, he won't tell you what you want to hear but what you NEED to do to get to where you want to go! Another plus of using Ryan is that he is actually 'available' which is a huge plus also when dealing with lawyers who always seem to busy to take your calls. I would highly recommend his services !
