Our solicitors create the three most important documents of your life
People usually focus on their Will. But what happens if you have an accident? Or reach a stage where you’d rather a trusted loved one make decisions on your behalf?
These are the first questions we ask. That’s why our wills and estate planning lawyers are the best in Sydney.
We don’t simply want to create your Will. We want to ensure your wellbeing, assets and loved ones are all considered when you determine the future of your estate.
Planning for these events is not easy. But the alternative is simply unacceptable. A tribunal could determine decisions about your welfare, and without knowing your intentions, family members could go to battle over your assets. That’s a lot of heartbreak and conflict that could be avoided with the help of an excellent succession lawyer.
The only way to guarantee your intentions are honoured and followed is to cover all bases. With three crucial documents, your interests will be protected, no matter what life throws at you.
Those three crucial documents are your will, power of attorney, and the appointment of an enduring guardian document. The first document determines who benefits from your assets upon your death, the second decides who manages your estate, and the third determines who cares for your health and wellbeing.
In a modern society with excellent health care and steadily increasing lifespans, the power of attorney and appointment of guardians is becoming more common. Many older people will often choose a trusted loved one to manage their estate or health.
But it’s tragic when a tribunal determines those decisions. Even with the best intentions, it’s difficult to imagine strangers could guarantee the best outcomes. The only people who should be making decisions about your life are the people you entrust with your health and finances.
The Sydney lawyers removing the stress and anxiety from estate planning
Regardless of your age, if you have assets, you need to determine how they will be managed when you’re incapable of making your own decisions. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t mean much unless they become legal documents.
We’re the Sydney estate planning lawyers known for providing no-nonsense advice. And we tell every client the same thing: if you have significant assets, the earlier you create the three crucial documents, the better.
If you’re going to spend time discussing your future with a lawyer, choose an approachable and friendly expert. We know it’s a challenging subject to discuss. But the professionals at Marc Hardman and Associates have been practising succession law for decades, so we consider compassion to be an important part of our service. We won’t pressure you, rush you or treat you like a number. We listen.
If you’re ready to discuss the future of your care, assets and benefactors, simply give us a call. You’ll be put through to one of our succession law specialists and quickly discover why Marc Hardman and Associates is changing the way people think about lawyers.
Guarantee your intentions are followed to the letter
The Will
During a confidential conversation, we’ll discuss your asset pool, family dynamics, benefactors, and intentions. It may be a difficult topic, but you’ll soon realise you already have a general plan for your assets and benefactors. We can even help prevent challenges by drafting statutory declarations explaining why particular people should not benefit from the Will.
Power of Attorney
There are many reasons why a person could temporarily or permanently be unable to make the right decisions about their estate and finances. If you’re not going to be in control, make sure you nominate someone you trust. A tribunal will not necessarily choose the best person. Make sure you protect your estate by asking your lawyer to prepare Power of Attorney documents.
The Appointment of An Enduring Guardian
An enduring guardian is a safeguard that will ensure your health and wellbeing are managed. Guardians have control of your health care, where you live, your doctors, and end of life directives. If the thought of allowing a tribunal to determine the management of your finances makes you feel uneasy, imagine allowing strangers to dictate who cares for your health. For the cost of creating one document, you could avoid the discomfort and humiliation of having your wellbeing managed by strangers.
