Understanding Powers of Attorney & Enduring Guardianship

To make informed decisions about powers of attorney and enduring guardianship, it can be useful to understand these concepts and know how they work. A power of attorney is a legal document wherein one person (the donor) authorises another person (the attorney) to act on their behalf regarding financial matters. This could include managing investments, paying bills or selling property.

An enduring guardianship allows you to nominate someone to make personal, health or lifestyle decisions for you when you're not capable of doing so yourself. It's important to note that an enduring guardianship does not give the appointed person the power to manage your finances—that's the

role of an attorney.

Both documents are similar in that they are designed to help ensure someone you trust is making decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so. However, they cover different aspects of your life and may be used together for comprehensive protection.
