Who needs a Will?
If you are over 18 and own any property, assets, or investments, you should have a Will.
Married couples, parents, and individuals with children or dependents especially need a Will
to ensure their wishes are respected.
Key points about Wills:
A Will outlines how your property and assets will be distributed after your death.
You can nominate guardians for your children.
Your Will remains valid indefinitely, unless you revoke it by creating a new one or your circumstances change, such as getting married.
Trusts can also be included to manage assets for beneficiaries, particularly minors or those with special needs.

Who needs a Power of Attorney?
Everyone over the age of 18 should consider appointing a Power of Attorney. This legal document allows someone you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs if you are unable to do so.
You should particularly have a Power of Attorney if you:
Plan to be away for an extended period of time.
Have complex financial or business affairs that may require decision-making in your absence.
Want to ensure that your bills, taxes, and property are managed responsibly if you become incapacitated.
General Power of Attorney:
For day-to-day decisions.
Enduring Power of Attorney:
Remains effective even if you lose capacity.

Who needs an Enduring Guardian?
Everyone over 18 should consider appointing an Enduring Guardian. This is the person who will make important personal, medical, and lifestyle decisions on your behalf if you cannot make them yourself.
You should particularly appoint an Enduring Guardian if:
You are in a relationship or have dependents.
You want a trusted person to make healthcare and lifestyle decisions in line with your wishes.
You want to avoid disputes among family members in times of illness or incapacity.
Your Enduring Guardian can make decisions about medical treatment, living arrangements, and personal care.
Important points:
Your Enduring Guardian can make decisions about medical treatment, living arrangements, and personal care.
You can outline your preferences clearly, giving your guardian guidance on decisions that matter most to you.
