Estate Planning

Wills, Enduring Power of Attorneys (EPOAs)

Planning for your family’s future once you’re gone is an essential, yet often overlooked legal responsibility.

Anyone with assets should have a Will and appoint their Enduring Power of Attorney.

Estate planning is the overarching term used for making decisions in relation to:

  • Preparing a Will – which allows you to nominate how your assets are to be distributed, who will act as guardians for your children and who will act as the executors and trustees of your estate
  • Preparing an Enduring Power of Attorney – which allows you to nominate how you would like to have your personal, financial and health care matters managed, should you lose capacity to make those decisions. 


Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy - anyone who has assets (property, cash, goods, businesses, investments), life insurance, superannuation, or even intellectual property should have a will and appoint their enduring power of attorney. These are the cornerstones of an estate plan.


To make sure your estate is administered according to your wishes and with the fewest complications possible, you need to seek professional advice.

Wills

Last Will and Testament

Your Will can cover all of your assets in your own name — your house, land, car, shares and bank accounts. It does not cover life insurance or superannuation.

A Will is a legal document which, as far as possible, ensures your assets will be distributed according to your wishes, after your death.

A Will allows you to appoint an executor to distribute your assets to beneficiaries (the people or other recipients who you choose to receive your assets).


Your choice of an executor should be carefully considered as the role can be very demanding and often complex. It can require legal and financial knowledge or guidance.


Any person of sound mind from the age of 18 years or, in certain circumstances, under 18 years, can (and should!) make a Will.

Enduring Power of Attorney

EPOA

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) is just as important as a Will, some people might even consider it to be more important.

While a Will only operates on your death, an Enduring Power of Attorney operates during your lifetime.

You can legally appoint a trusted friend or a relative, to act on your behalf by signing an enduring power of attorney. The nominated person is known as your Attorney. The person may handle your affairs or have the power to act on your behalf.


Under an enduring power of attorney, you may give your attorney the power to deal with all or any part of your financial, personal and health matters. An EPOA for financial matters can come into effect either immediately when you lose capacity, or on a specific date or at a specific event. There are a number of other considerations regarding this decision. It is advisable to obtain legal advice to ensure your choice is fully informed.


If your attorney under an EPOA acts in conflict of their duties and your interests (eg in financial relationships), they would enter a ‘conflict transaction’ which they can only do if you authorise such a transaction. It is best to discuss this with your solicitor.
