We are compassionate and results-focused, and will work with you to ensure that you are comfortable with the documents you put in place. Our lawyers provide guidance and support with a view to ensuring that your intentions are captured in your documents and lead to an effective and efficient distribution of an Estate.

Our lawyers can also assist you in planning for someone to step in and handle your finances and your care and maintenance during periods of incapacity, through the utilization of Personal Directives and Enduring Powers of Attorney.

In such cases, our lawyers can provide guidance on how to obtain a court-appointed representative for the person. We can also provide advice and assistance to the appointed representative on their ongoing obligations while acting as another’s Guardian and/or Trustee.
