A practical guide to enduring powers of attorney and medical treatment decision makers under Victorian law — and what happens if you don't have one.
The most common mistakes Victorians make when appointing an enduring power of attorney — choosing the wrong attorney, conflicts of interest, capacity, record keeping and how to prevent financial abuse.
When and how an enduring power of attorney can be revoked in Victoria — capacity, the formal revocation process, notification, replacing an attorney, family disputes and Court involvement.
When a loved one has lost capacity and has no Will — or an outdated one — the Supreme Court of Victoria may authorise a statutory will. A plain-English guide for families on how it works and when it applies.
