Powers of Attorney

It is important that you have in place an Enduring Power of Attorney. An Enduring Power of Attorney is not only a useful document to have in place, it also provides security in the knowledge that, should you become incapable of making decisions for yourself, someone you trust would be able to make those decisions for you.

By signing a Power of Attorney you may grant someone (your attorney) the legal power for that person to sign or to take some action on your behalf.

Deceased Estates

We at Porta Lawyers understand that the administration of a deceased's estate can be a very upsetting and stressful time for the Executors. Our team can explain to you exactly what has to be done, how long it will take and the costs involved.

We will continue to look after all matters and ensure that the intentions of the deceased are carried out.
