Do you wish to appoint an enduring attorney and/or a legal guardian for future peace of mind? Have you been appointed as an attorney or legal guardian and unsure of your duties and obligations? Has someone you know lost capacity and not able to appointment an attorney or legal guardian themselves? We serve as guardianship lawyer to assist those who need to obtain financial management orders and/or guardianship orders for a loved one or friend who has lost capacity to manage their own affairs or the ability to make decisions for themselves. If you need legal advice on assuming this role or looking to file an application with the Guardian Division in the NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), we can help you.
