Decisions in trusted hands, whatever the future holds.
Enduring Powers of Attorney and Advance Health Directives let you choose who speaks for you, and how, if you can no longer decide for yourself. YHC Lawyers helps Queensland families put these protections in place with clarity and care.
Enduring Documents
Plan ahead so the people you trust can step in.
Enduring documents are among the most important, and most often, forgotten aspect of estate planning. We explain each one plainly and prepare them properly under Queensland law.
Enduring Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney lets you appoint someone you trust to make financial and, if you choose, personal decisions on your behalf if you can no longer make them yourself. Unlike a general power of attorney, it continues to operate even if you lose capacity, which is exactly when it matters most.
Advance Health Directive
An Advance Health Directive records your wishes about future medical treatment and care, so your family and doctors know what you would want if you cannot speak for yourself. We help you set these directions out clearly and lawfully under Queensland's guardianship laws.
Choosing the right attorneys
Deciding who should act for you, and how much power they should have, is a significant choice. We talk it through with you, explain each attorney's duties, and make sure the document reflects your intentions and protects you from misuse.
Updating and revoking
Circumstances change, and the person you once chose to act for you may no longer be the right choice. Rather than reworking an old document, we prepare fresh enduring documents with current clauses and formally revoke the previous ones, so your arrangements always reflect who you trust today.
