An enduring power of attorney lets you decide in advance who will make decisions on your behalf, and what your instructions are, in case you can no longer do so yourself. Without such a document, a family may need to go to court to have a guardian appointed.
The office helps draft an enduring power of attorney in accordance with the law, choose the attorney-in-fact and define the instructions, and submit the document for registration with the Office of the Public Guardian.
