Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a power of attorney and an advanced care directive?
A power of attorney authorises another person to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. An advanced care directive deals with health care, medical treatment, living arrangements, and personal decision-making.
When should these documents be prepared?
These documents can be prepared and executed while you have legal capacity to understand them. It is therefore recommended you have them in place as early as possible in case of the unexpected.
Can these documents be changed?
Yes. As long as you have legal capacity, powers of attorney and advanced care directives can be updated or replaced if your circumstances or wishes change.
