Wills/Powers of Attorney/Enduring Guardianships Quote

Will

If you die without a will you leave your family and friends in the unenviable position of having to apply for letters of administration to deal with your assets at a time when they would otherwise be grieving.  Even worse, the distribution of your estate will be in accordance with the laws of the state and may not be as you would otherwise wish.

It is important to have a will properly drawn up expressing your wishes so that your assets pass to the people you wish on your death with minimum inconvenience to your loved ones.

We prepare a will in accordance with your instructions for $300.00 plus GST.

If your will requires unusual provisions or you require us to travel to you then we reserve our right to revise our quote prior to carrying out work for you.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney allows the person you appoint to deal with your assets.  An enduring power of attorney allows that person to deal with your assets when you are otherwise incapable of doing so.

If you do not have an enduring power of attorney and you suffer a debilitating illness or accident and cannot deal with your own assets you will be left in a position where no-one has the authority to access your money, whether to pay your mortgage or deal with your medical expenses. 

In those circumstances concerned family or friends could make application to the Guardianship Tribunal for orders to deal with your assets but that is an inconvenience that you could avoid putting your friends and relatives through by ensuring you have an enduring power of attorney in place.

We will prepare an enduring power of attorney for you for $200.00 plus GST.

If your enduring power of attorney requires unusual provisions or you require us to travel to you then we reserve our right to revise our quote prior to carrying out work for you.

Appointment of Enduring Guardian

An enduring guardian is authorised to deal with your disposition, which means they may make decisions about your health and living arrangements.  An enduring guardian is not entitled to make any decisions about your financial affairs.

If you have not appointed an enduring guardian then the doctors and other relevant people will look to relatives to make decisions in relation to your wellbeing if you are unable to make those decisions on your own.  The person making those decisions may not be the person you believe should make those decisions. 

We can prepare an appointment of an enduring guardian for you for $200.00 plus GST.

If your appointment of enduring guardian requires unusual provisions or you require us to travel to you then we reserve our right to revise our quote prior to carrying out work for you.
