What is the difference between a Power of Attorney and an Enduring Guardian?A Power of Attorney allows someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf, such as managing bank accounts or selling property. It can take effect immediately or only if you lose decision-making capacity. An Enduring Guardian, on the other hand, is an appointed person who can make personal and medical decisions, such as selecting your living arrangements or consenting to medical treatments. Together, these roles ensure all aspects of your financial and personal needs are covered if you become incapacitated.

Why is having a will essential?A will ensures your assets are distributed as you intend. Without one, your estate is divided according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to your closest relatives inheriting your assets in a default order, potentially causing unnecessary complications.
-
What is the role of an executor in a will, and how are they different from the beneficiaries?An executor is a person appointed in a will to manage and distribute the estate of the deceased according to the terms of the will. Their duties include paying debts and taxes, gathering assets, and ensuring beneficiaries receive their inheritance as specified. On the other hand, beneficiaries are individuals or entities named in the will to receive assets or gifts from the estate. Beneficiaries have no legal obligation to manage the estate but are entitled to receive what the will grants them.

Why is having a will important, and what happens if I don’t have one?A will ensures your assets are distributed as you intend. Without one, your estate is divided according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to your closest relatives inheriting your assets in a default order, potentially causing unnecessary complications.
-
How should I prepare before our consultation regarding my will?Before meeting with your lawyer, list your assets, debts, and key beneficiaries. Consider any specific wishes, such as guardianship for children or charitable donations. Clear preparation helps streamline the process and ensures your lawyer can address all aspects of your estate plan.
