Power of Attorney

Chung Lawyers offers comprehensive guidance in the realm of Powers of Attorney (POA) in Victoria, providing clarity and security for clients navigating these pivotal legal instruments. A POA is a vital legal document enabling individuals to appoint a trusted party to manage their financial and legal affairs. The firm assists clients in understanding the types of POAs available, such as general or limited, ensuring that clients select the appropriate format tailored to their personal circumstances. Crucially, the decision to grant a POA must be made while the individual still possesses mental capacity, underscoring the importance of timely legal advice to ensure all documents are valid and enforceable under Victorian law. In addition to general POAs, Chung Lawyers expertly handles the intricacies of Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPOA) and Enduring Powers of Guardianship (EPG). An EPOA provides a crucial safeguard for clients, particularly the elderly or ill, by allowing appointed individuals to make financial and personal decisions should the client become incapacitated. Similarly, an EPG ensures that personal and lifestyle decisions, including healthcare, are made in the best interest of the client by a trusted guardian. These enduring documents form a cornerstone of effective estate planning, ensuring peace of mind and continuity in personal management for clients and their families. Clients are guided meticulously through the appointment process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements while prioritising their best interests.
