The Importance of Having a Will

Creating a will is more than a legal formality; it’s a crucial step in estate planning that ensures your assets are passed on to your loved ones according to your wishes. Without a will, the distribution of your estate may fall to generic legal statutes, potentially leading to outcomes that don’t align with your intentions. This can cause unnecessary stress and complications for your family during an already difficult time. At Galloway Legal, we guide you and your family through the process of creating a will, ensuring clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved.

Life’s milestones—marriage, the birth of a child, divorce, or a change in financial status—necessitate updates to your estate plan.

Power of Attorney and Medical in Melbourne

Power of Attorney and Medical Treatment Decision Makers

We can assist you in appointing an Enduring or Non-Enduring Power of Attorney, as well as appointing a Medical Treatment Decision Makers.

A Power of Attorney is a crucial legal document that grants someone you trust the authority to make decisions on your behalf. Whether it’s managing financial affairs, property transactions, or other legal matters, a Power of Attorney ensures that your interests are protected, especially if unforeseen circumstances arise.

When it comes to Power of Attorney, there are two key types: Enduring and Non-Enduring. An Enduring Power of Attorney remains effective even if you become incapacitated, providing ongoing protection for your assets and interests. On the other hand, a Non-Enduring Power of Attorney is limited in duration and ceases to be valid if you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself. We can guide you in choosing the right type based on your unique circumstances and needs.

In contrast to a Power of Attorney, a Medical Treatment Decision Maker is exclusively empowered to make choices regarding your health and medical treatment when you are unable to do so yourself. This ensures that your medical preferences and decisions are explicitly addressed by an individual you trust. At Galloway Legal, we can guide you through the process of appointing both types of representatives based on your unique circumstances and needs.

Take control of your future and safeguard your interests. We are here to provide expert guidance, ensuring that your affairs both financial and medical are managed with clarity and confidence.
