Powers of Attorney & Enduring Guardians in NSW

Appoint someone you trust to manage your affairs if you can’t. Our team includes Accredited Specialists in Wills & Estates, offering fixed-fee, clear advice without the legal jargon.

Plan ahead for whatever life brings

A power of attorney lets you choose, in advance, who can make decisions for you if you’re ever unable to — through illness, injury or age. Setting one up properly now saves your family enormous stress later. We make it simple, for a fixed fee, with clear advice.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What's the difference between a power of attorney and an enduring guardian?

A power of attorney covers your financial and legal decisions; an enduring guardian covers your health and lifestyle decisions. Many people put both in place.

What does “enduring” mean?

An enduring power of attorney keeps working even if you lose the capacity to make decisions yourself — which is exactly when your family needs it most. A general power of attorney ends if that happens.

Can I set one up at the same time as my Will?

Yes — and most people do. It’s the sensible time to get your whole estate plan sorted in one go.

Do you have offices nearby?

Yes — Cronulla and Menai, with online appointments also available.

Haven't Appointed a Power of Attorney Yet?

Many people put off appointing a power of attorney or enduring guardian until it’s too late. A simple conversation today can help protect your future and give your family peace of mind.
