Our Enduring Document Services

How can Bechelet & Co assist?

Enduring Power of Attorney

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial and property-related decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

Our team helps you set up an EPA that clearly outlines the scope of authority for your appointed attorney, ensuring your assets are managed according to your wishes.

Enduring Power of Guardianship (EPG)

With an Enduring Power of Guardianship, you can appoint someone to make personal, health, and lifestyle decisions for you if you’re no longer able to make these decisions yourself.

We guide you through the process of setting up an EPG, helping you specify the types of decisions your guardian can make and ensuring all legal requirements are met.

Advance Health Directive

An Advance Health Directive (AHD), sometimes known as a living will, allows you to outline your preferences for medical treatment, including specific instructions for end-of-life care.

Our team will help you draft an AHD that accurately reflects your healthcare preferences, giving you peace of mind that your medical wishes will be respected.

Choosing the Right Appointees

Selecting the right individuals to act on your behalf in an enduring document is crucial. We provide guidance to help you choose appointees who are capable, reliable, and fully aligned with your values and wishes.

Our lawyers will also ensure that your chosen appointees understand their responsibilities, fostering clear communication and trust.

Review and Updates to Enduring Documents

Life changes, and so may your wishes. We offer services to review and update your enduring documents as needed to reflect changes in circumstances, such as marriage, divorce, or major asset acquisitions.

Keeping your enduring documents current ensures they remain legally valid and in line with your personal situation.
