Understanding Powers of Attorney in Melbourne

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. In Melbourne, there are several types of Powers of Attorney, each serving a distinct purpose:

  • Enduring Power of Attorney (Financial and Personal): Enables a trusted individual to make financial and personal decisions for you, even if you lose capacity.
  • Medical Treatment Decision Maker: Allows you to appoint someone to make medical and health care decisions if you can’t make them yourself.
  • Supportive Attorney: Authorises someone to help you make and act on decisions, while you still retain the ability to decide.

At Haven Legal Co., we ensure you fully understand these distinctions so you can choose the right arrangement for your situation. Our team takes the time to explain each option in plain English, ensuring there’s no confusion or legal jargon.
