Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the complexities of wills and power of attorneys, ensuring that your wishes are honoured and your family's financial security is protected.
Importance of Wills
A will is a crucial legal document that outlines how your assets and property will be distributed after your passing. At Wise Family Lawyers, we can assist you with:
Drafting a Will: Our experienced lawyers will help you create a comprehensive will that reflects your wishes, ensuring all assets, including real estate, bank accounts, and personal belongings, are addressed.
Updating Your Will: Life changes such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child may necessitate updates to your will. We can help you revise your will to reflect your current circumstances.
Ensuring Validity:
We will ensure that your will meets all legal requirements, minimising the risk of disputes or challenges after your passing.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorises someone (the "attorney") to act on your behalf in managing your legal, financial, and property matters. This person can make decisions and take actions as if they were you, ensuring that your affairs are handled even if you become incapacitated or unable to manage them on your own.
How We Can Help
At Wise Family Lawyers, we provide a comprehensive service for setting up a Power of Attorney that fits your individual needs. Our services include:
Tailored Advice: We take the time to understand your situation and advise you on the most appropriate type of Power of Attorney for your needs.
Drafting the Power of Attorney: We will draft a clear and legally binding document that outlines the specific powers you wish to grant, ensuring that your instructions are followed precisely.
Appointing the Right Attorney:
Choosing the right person to act on your behalf is crucial. We can provide guidance on selecting an attorney who will act in your best interests and manage your affairs with care.
Legal Guidance and Updates: We ensure your POA complies with current laws and can assist with any necessary updates as your circumstances change.
Revoking a POA: If you wish to cancel an existing Power of Attorney, we can guide you through the legal process to ensure it is properly revoked.
Amending a POA:
If you need to make changes to an existing document, such as appointing a new attorney, we will handle the legal steps necessary to update your Power of Attorney.
