How do you choose the right person to be your Attorney?

How to choose the right person as your Attorney

Who to look for

Who to avoid

The most important thing is to choose somebody or a few people who you trust completely.

what look for show yes no

	Yes show more
	No show less

It's better not to appoint some people – especially if they have been dishonest in the past or if you feel pressured.

what look for show yes no

	Yes show more
	No show less

What to look for when you choose an Attorney

They are trustworthy and honest. In all of your experience with them, they are always like this with everyone . Don’t be tempted to forgive past examples when they have not.

They will always put your interests first. If they have to balance what is best for you against their interests of other people then they will always choose you. They must be strong enough to withstand pressure or bullying by family members, friends or others.

They are in good health themselves. They should be well enough to act as your Attorney for the rest of your life. Only choose them together with somebody else to share the task or to take over when they can no longer do it on their own.

They will be untiring and conscientious. They have the time and energy to take on the task.

They make good decisions and will respect your wishes. They will weigh up all the options and not make quick decisions without thinking through the consequences. They will not panic in a crisis. They will try and involve you in the decision-making as far as they can.

Who to avoid when you choose an Attorney

Avoid people who are having their own difficulties. That might include financial problems or addiction.

Avoid choosing someone just to maintain harmony within the family now. Be cautious about appointing someone just to maintain harmony with the family now. That is not the right way to choose the best person for the job.

Avoid choosing somebody just because of their position in the family. Don’t choose somebody just because they are the eldest of your children. Think about which of your children would be the best person for the job. Or maybe appoint them as part of a group.

Be wary of people pressuring you to appoint them. Think about who you choose if you were not under that pressure.

Avoid choosing your solicitor, accountant or other adviser who are not related to you. It is more important that your Attorneys know your values and family situation and what you might have decided if only you were well enough. They can always consult that advisor.

"Joint" Attorneys does not mean what you think

How many people should you choose as your Attorney

It is quite common to name a primary person who is going to act first. Most often this is usually a spouse or partner. Or it may be a child or best friend.

Then we name somebody as the reserve attorney (or group of reserve attorneys) to step in and take over if something happens to the primary person. The primary person might die before you, become unwell or not be able to continue to do the job.

We also frequently name a group of people to act. This is usually adult children. They can then share the work and responsibility. Usually it is set up so that the rest of the group can continue to your attorney even if something happens to one of them.

A couple who have children together will most often appoint each other and then the children all as a group OR they will appoint each other then the children in reserve.

You can skip this page if you like. There are examples on the next page. You can always come back.

Jointly means that they must always work together. You are appointing the whole team and not the individuals. So if something happens to one of these people then you no longer have the whole team and the authority of the remaining team members stops. This is the way to go if you are not fully comfortable that individuals will do the job properly on their own.

Jointly – two or more can make the decision You can appoint a group of three or more people but be comfortable if the decision is made by a minimum of any two people (or any other number that you may choose). This has the advantage of the Jointly team but gives you flexibility if one of the team is not available. This can be a useful method too if you cannot avoid appointing somebody but don’t want them to be able to do anything on their own. If you set the right number then this can effectively mean that a majority decision can prevail, and that nothing can be decided without a majority agreeing.

Severally means that you are appointing individuals and they can work independently of each other. It only takes one of them to make a decision. If something happens to one of them then the others can continue to make decisions as individuals. This is the way to go if you are comfortable with any of them doing things on their own. There is no obligation on them to consult the others, even on important decisions.

Jointly and Severally is the most common way to appoint a group of people to be your attorneys. They can make decisions as a team or they can make decisions individually. You hope that they will only do small things on their own and work together on the big things - but that is not compulsory. If something happens to one of them then the others can continue to make decisions as individuals or together.

The most common version we prepare for families is to appoint the spouse and children in a group jointly and severally. You then trust that as long as your spouse is capable and available that the children will sit back, but that they will become active when the need arises.

The next most common is to appoint the spouse on their own and then, if they die or cannot continue to act, to appoint the children in a group.

Next - we name your Attorneys Back

Who do you want to appoint to be your Financial Attorney [field_1456487241255_128]

[field_1456487241255_128]

Often people have one person in particular who they want to be their main Attorney. (Usually this is their partner or spouse). I call this person the Primary Attorney. Do you have somebody like this?

Is there one person who you particularly want to be your main Attorney (we call them your Primary Attorney)

	Yes, there is one person in particular
	No, I don't have one particular person

Do you want to appoint anyone else to be available as your attorneys? Perhaps to help your Primary Attorney or perhaps to be available if your Primary Attorney becomes incapacitated or dies.

Do you want to appoint anyone else to be available as your attorneys

	No, I only want to appoint my Primary Attorney
	Yes, I would like other people who can act at the same time as my Primary Attorney AND after they become incapacitated or die
	Yes, I would like other people to also be my Attorney BUT ONLY after my Primary Attorney becomes incapacitated or dies

How many other people do you want to choose in addition to your Primary Attorney

How many people do you want to choose as your Financial Attorneys to start with

How many other people do you want to choose. Do not include your Primary Attorney in this.

Structure total attorneys

Please don't just read the list and choose. Please read the explanations that appear when you click on each option.

Structure 2 attorneys options

	Two jointly - they can only work together.
	Two jointly then substitute somebody new to fill the gap
	Two jointly then the survivor continues on their own
	Two jointly and severally
	Two jointly and severally then substitute somebody new to fill the gap

So, your Primary Attorney starts first. And it is only when your Primary Attorney is dead, incapacitated or withdraws that the others start. How do you want the others to work together?

	Primary Attorney plus one other jointly then the survivor can act on their own
	Primary Attorney plus one other jointly and severally
	Primary Attorney plus one other jointly and severally then substitute somebody new to fill the gap

Jointly You have the safety that neither attorney can make a decision on their own. But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then the remaining Attorney can do nothing on their own. You no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly then a substitute You have the safety that neither attorney can make a decision on their own. But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then the another person is appointed to fil the vacancy so that you still have the two attornyes working together.

The substitute does nothing and has no rights until one of the original attorneys dies or is incapacitated. Do not change the number of attorneys, we shall make a space for them in addition to the two that your chose.

If another of the original attorneys or the substitute attorney then dies or becomes incapacitated then the remaining Attorney can do nothing on their own. You no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly then survivor on their own To start with, while both Attorneys are alive and capable, you have the safety that neither attorney can make a decision on their own.

But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then we change it so that the Attorney who is alive and capable is able to continue on their own.

Jointly and Severally You do not have the safety that no attorney can make a decision on their own. But you do have a lot more flixibility.

The Attorneys can make decisions together - or one of them can make a decision on their own. That may be because the other Attorney is unavailable, or it is a small decision or simply because that is what they decide to do - even if it is a large decision. You hope and expect and trust that neither of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting the other Attorney, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

If one of these Attorneys dies or is incapacitated then the remaining Attorney can continue on their own.

So long as you have one of the attorneys (it doesn't matter if it is one of the originals or the substituted person) alive and capable of doing the job, then you will still have a working Power of Attorney.

Are you sure! You said in an earlier question that the Primary Attorney could not make decisions on their own but had to work with others. Chosing this option now allows the Primary Attorney to make decisions on their own.

The Attorneys can make decisions together - or one of them can make a decision on their own.

[field_1456488037149_142] hopes and expect and trust that neither of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting the other Attorney, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

All four Attorneys can make decisions together - or two of them can make a decision without the third Attorney and fourth Attorney. Or, three of them can make a decision without the third Attorney. That may be because the other Attorneys are unavailable, or it is a small decision or simply because that is what they decide to do - even if it is a large decision. [field_1456488037149_142] hopes and expects and trusts that two of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting the third and fourth Attorneys, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

If one of these Attorneys dies or is incapacitated then the remaining three Attorneys can continue to make decisions together. If a second Attorney dies or is incapacitated then the remaining two Attorneys can continue to make decisions together. But if a third attorney dies or is incapacitated then [field_1456488037149_142] will no longer have a minimum team of two and no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly then three survivors on their own To start with, while all Attorneys are alive and capable, [field_1456488037149_142] has the safety that none of [field_1457344356290_732] attorneys can make a decision on their own.

But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then we change it so that the three Attorneys who are alive and capable are able to continue with just the three of them. If another Attorney dies or is incapacitated then [field_1456488037149_142] will no longer have a minimum number of Attorneys (the minimum is now three) and so [field_1457314034668_583] will no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly then three survivors then two survivors on their own To start with, while all Attorneys are alive and capable, [field_1456488037149_142] has the safety that none of [field_1457344356290_732] attorneys can make a decision on their own.

But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then we change it so that the three Attorneys who are alive and capable are able to continue with just the three of them.

If another Attorney dies or is incapacitated then then we change it so that the two Attorneys who are alive and capable are able to continue with just the two of them

If another Attorney dies or is incapacitated then [field_1456488037149_142] will no longer have a minimum number of Attorneys (the minimum is now two) and so [field_1457314034668_583] will no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly and Severally [field_1456488037149_142] does not have the safety that no attorney can make a decision on their own. But [field_1457314034668_583] does have a lot more flexibility.

The four Attorneys can make decisions together - or one of them can make a decision on their own. Or two of them could make a decision together. Or three of them could make a decision together. That may be because the other Attorneys are unavailable, or it is a small decision or simply because that is what they decide to do - even if it is a large decision. [field_1456488037149_142] hope sand expects and trusts that none of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting all the other Attorneys, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

If any of these Attorneys dies or is incapacitated then any remaining Attorneys can continue on their own. Even if there is only one of them left.

[field_1456488037149_142] is allowed to choose only one person

But if anything happens to them then [field_1456488037149_142] won't have chosen whoever is appointed to take care of [field_1457344356290_732] affairs. And [field_1457314034668_583] won't have set any rules about whey can or cannot do.
However, if [field_1456488037149_142] doesn't have a second person who [field_1457314034668_583] trusts enough to be [field_1457344356290_732] Attorney then this is a good choice.

When do you want the Financial Attorney to start? Now - or only when you are incapacitated? Most people chose for their Financial Attorney to start immediately.

Advantage of delaying

Reasons to start immediately

You may never have to let anyone else actually take control of your affairs.

advantages show yes no

	Yes show more
	No show less

It avoids the problem of proving that you are incapacitated. You might also like some help before you get to that stage.

what look for show yes no

	Yes show more
	No show less

Advantages of delaying your Power of Attorney until you are incapacitated

If you are never incapacitated then you may never need to have anyone with the power to take control over your assets and affairs.

Which means that you may never have to trust anyone or take the risks that they may turn out to be dishonest or may make bad decisions.

You also retain total and exclusive control until the very last.

If you don't trust your Attorney to not do anything until they are really needed - then should you be trusting them to be your Attorney at all?

Disadvantages of delaying the start of your Power of Attorney

It can be difficult to establish when you are incapacitated. It can take time to sort this out and to prove it to everyone. During that time:

Your attorneys might hesitate to take charge.
Family members might dispute that they now have that power.
The Banks will also need something to convince them that the Power of Attorney has officially started.

There may also be times when you want somebody to be able to help before you are quite incapacitated. Examples include helping take care of things for you when you are in hospital, travelling or just find it all too hard,

If you trust somebody enough to be your Attorney and have control of your money, shouldn't you be able to trust to wait until they are really needed?

rearrange advanates more information etc.

What is incapacity?

What is incapacity?

To have legal capacity you must have the mental ability to:

Understand information given to you, and
Weigh up the information available to make that decision, and
Retain that information long enough to be able to make a decision, and
Communicate your decision to others

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if somebody has lost capacity. There is no one simple test. If it is in doubt then it usually requires assistance from a specialist medical practitioner.

I can include in your Power of Attorney a clause saying that your usual doctor can write a letter stating that you are incapacitated. This might be for a limited time or forever. Everyone can then rely on that letter as proof of your incapacity.

Just how powerful is a Financial Power of Attorney?

Kinder.
A more helpful, caring and powerful Power of Attorney

You can do just as many things with a Power of Attorney as you can with a driver's licence.

With a drivers licence can choose to drive a car at any time, you can speed up, slow down, turn corners, have passengers …. But there are limits on what you can do with a drivers licence. These are for the safety of yourself, your passengers and anyone else on the road.

The Road Rules impose limits on the sort of vehicle you can drive,speeding, giving way and drink driving. Then the Law has unwritten rules about when you are at fault for an accident and have to pay to repair the other car. The unwritten rules have been built up over many years by the Courts.

What can an Attorney do

There is nothing written on your Power of Attorney about everything that your Attorney can do. But without saying so it lets your Attorney:

buy and sell things (even your house
transfer money into and out of the bank or investments
sign your tax returns
pay bills - or dispute bills

Basically, they can do anything that you can do that is financial or legal. Subject to the limits.

The big one is that an Attorney must always act in the interests and for the purposes of the person who gave them the Power of Attorney (you). Your Attorney must not abuse, stretch or twist their position as Attorney or the wording of the Power of Attorney to acheive this.

This is like the general rules on a driver's licence, such as not driving in a way that that is dangerous (even if you are under the speed limit).

This can be a bit too tough though. What if your Attorney wants to pay to support your family, to make gifts to them, to pay them if they are caring for you? Then, how much should be spent on this? After all, this is all going to make you poorer and your Attorney is meant to be protecting your money.

South Australian law doesn't have any list of rules about exceptions like this. If you Google beware that the Law is different around Australia and overseas.

The best solution is to add your own rules giving clear approval for the things that you think are a good idea. It answers the question "is this wat you would have chosen to do". And, so long as the Attorney doesn't abuse this, it will be permitted in South Australia.

So, if you want to do things for others we start with the all powerful Power of Attorney, we add wording to say that these powers can be used to help others and we rely on the Attorney to only use this honestly. And then you might top this off with something from our list letting somebody else to keep an eye on the Attorney.

Dan this last paragraph could be a graphic - perhaps a sandwich or layered cake - at the base is the all powerful Power of Attorney, the added wording to say that these powers can be used to help others, next layer is We rely on the att to only use this honestly. Top layer is You might add something from our list for somebody else to keep an eye on the Attorney

What are the limits on an Attorney - let me scare you

But, there are limits on what your Attorneys can do. The limits have mainly been set by the Courts. So you won't find most of them by reading legislation online. As the law is different everywhere it is dangerous to rely on the internet. And a lot of what appears on the internet is fairly limited (or only applies interstate or in USA).

If your Attorneys get it wrong then you are losing money and so is your estate. They can upset your family and the beneficiaries of your estate.Whereas your plan was that by having an Attorney that you would reduce those risks. Your Attorneys can be reluctant to do t hings "the family way", get involved in litigation, be personally liable, run up legal costs and commit crimes.

The big limit is that an Attorneys must always act in the interests and for the purposes of the person who gave them the Power of Attorney (you). Your Attorneys must not abuse, stretch or twist their position as Attorney or the wording of the Power of Attorney to do anything that is not in your best interests.

This can get to be a bit too tough though. What if your Attorneys want to pay to support your family, to make gifts to them, to pay them if they are caring for you? These might be seen as spending money your Attorneys are meant to protect or amight be seen as benefiting others (perhaps including the Attorneys).

What is the solution

The best solution in South Australia is to add your own special powers and limits on what you Attorney can do for you.

The big one is that an Attorney must always act in the interests and for the purposes of the person who gave them the Power of Attorney (you).

Even if the Power of Attorney includes wording that permits the Attorney to do something that is for benefit of the Attorney - they still must not use it if to do so would be against your interests and outside the special relationship of trust between you. They must still be able to answer the question "is this what you would have chosen to do".

Taking care of your family or making small gifts might not be strictly for your benefit as it makes you poorer. But, for some people that might be a good thing to choose to do. So, if you want to do things for others we start with the all powerful Power of Attorney, we add wording to say that these powers can be used for this purpose and we rely on the Attorney to only use this honestly. And then you might add something from our list for somebody else to keep an eye on the Attorney.

These special powers are on the next page, there are a number of examples where you might choose to give permission like this. I am including them:

because they might be required by the law in South Australia now or later
so that it is clear to the whole family that these were your wishes
to make it easier when your Attorneys deal with Banks, accountants etc
to reduce the risks of the Attorneys getting into trouble with anyone.

Family maintenance and support

Family maintenance and support

Open

This Power will allow your Financial Attorney to support your spouse/partner, children and anyone else who is supported by you.

Supporting a legal spouse (if you have not separated) or young child may be uncontroversial. But there may be arguments about supporting anyone else in your household or family.

Hopefully your Financial Attorney will not need to do anything for you until well into the future. The list may change because new people come into your life. Or your chidlren may suffer a dramatic change in their circumstances and you may find yourself supporting one of them but not the others. It is difficult therefore to name the people to be supported.

add ability to list people
select things like just medical for someone

Note that if you have a legal obligation to support anyone (such as child maintenance), then your Attorney must continue this support regardless of anything in your Power of Attorney. But you may want to support them in ways or amounts that are more than just your legal obligation.

Selling my house when this affects other people

Family maintenance and support

Open

This Power asks your Financial Attorney to consider how the sale of your house may affect other people and whether they should have a say in this.

The starting position is that your Attorney can decide on their own whether to sell your house and when to do it. Also, whether anyone should continue to live in your house rent free. This power alters that. Here a few things to consider:

Part Owners - If any of the people living there (residents) also own part of the house (including joint owners) then your Attorney can still insist that the house is sold, and the proceeds are shared. They don't need anyone's permission to stay there in the meantime.
Effect on your Will - Your Will might give some of the residents the right to continue to live in your house for a while after you die. You might have made a specific gift of that house. If so, you will probably choose to direct your Attorney not to sell the house before you die. Either way, you should also see your lawyer to review your Will.
Family disputes - Your family might not agree that letting the resident stay in the house is fair.
Existing Agreements - No matter what you say, if the resident has a legal right to be there (such as a contract with you, a life interest, or a Family Court Order) then your Attorney can't interfere with those rights.
Cost of Aged Care and Pensions - Directing your Attorney about the sale or use of your house can impact on aged care accommodation, care costs, your pension, and Capital Gains Tax. You should consult your Accountant or Financial Adviser before doing this.

[field_1456487241255_128]

Does your Attorney have to consider the wishes of anyone else before selling or letting your home?

	No - I leave it completely at my Attorney's discretion. It is unlikely to be a problem.
	Only sell after consulting with other people (listed below)
	Only sell with the consent of other people (listed below)

Special aged care choices

	No - I leave it completely at my Attorney's discretion.
	Only sell after consulting with other people (listed below)
	Only sell with the consent of other people (listed below)

Consulting means asking people for their opinions. It is a mild middle ground between the other two choices. The Attorney is still free to make his own decision. But, without having insisted on it, you will at least be making clear that the views are important to you and should be taken into account.

Is this to be a hard and fast rule

	I want to make a fixed rule about this
	I only want to state my preference about this to guide my Attorneys

Who do you want your Attorney to consult with about the sale or leasing of the house and allowing them to continue to live (rent free) in your house Tick as many as you like

Special sell house consult y n client

	Consult with my spouse if they are living in my house
	Consult with any of my adult children living in my house
	Consult with any adult children of my spouse living in my house
	Consult with any other adult usually supported by me who is living in my house

What do you want to direct your Attorney to do with your house Tick as many as you like

Special sell house consult y n client

	I direct that as far as possible my spouse is to be allowed to continue to live in my house
	I direct that as far as possible my children are to be allowed to continue to live in my house
	I direct that as far as possible any children of my spouse are to be allowed to continue living in my house
	I direct that as far as possible anyone usually supported by me is to be allowed to continue to live in my house

Why did I say as far as possible? Sometimes your Attorney may have no choice but to sell. They have to find the money to pay for other accomodation for you, to pay for your care and lifestyle and they have to consider your overall financial position as a responsible manager of your affairs.

How long do you intend that a child of yours or of your spouse should be able to stay after you become incapacitated. The difference between when a child should be independent vs. when they actually are independent is discussed under the family maintenance topic

How long do you intend that a child should stay

I shall say that anyone else who is usually supported by you and usually lives in the house is to be allowed to stay there for as long as your Attorneys think is reasonable.

The Power of Attorney ends when you die and then your Will takes over. So the right of your Attorney to allow anyone to stay in the house or have a say about selling the house will also end when you die.

Who pays the Rates and other expenses

Which of these expenses do you want the person living in the house to pay for. Choose as many as you like.

	All repairs except those of a capital nature or due to fair wear and tear

For that last one, I have in mind that the resident won't have to replace a hot water service or roof and warn out floor coverings or pay to add air conditioning.

I will say that your Attorney is to pay for everything else as far as possible from your other financial resources. If there isn't enough money then either the resident will have to pay more or the Attorney will have to sell the house.

This Power authorises your Attorneys to make gifts - or puts limits on what gifts they can make.

There are many arguments about gifts by Attorneys. Can or should they make any gifts, who they should be made to and the size of the gifts. What if they want to make a gift (big or small) to themselves.This option is your chance to say what gifts you want (or don't want) your attornies to make.

What gifts are your attorneys allowed to make

	My attorneys are not to make any gifts
	Gifts in keeping with gifts that I have made myself (there is no specified limit on this)
	Gifts in keeping with gifts that I have made myself and that total less than 5% of my total assets each year
	Gifts in keeping with gifts that I have made myself and that total less than 10% of my total assets each year
	Gifts in keeping with gifts that I have made myself and that total less than 20% of my total assets each year
	My attorneys can make any gifts that they consider appropriate

Do you want to restrict the people who your Attorneys may make gifts to? In this question we ask about blood relatives. A blood relative is someone who has the same parents or ancestors as another person. It does not include anyone related to you by marriage. Your sister is your blood relative, but your brother-in-law is not.

Limits on who they make gifts to

	My attorneys may only make gifts to my blood relatives
	My attorneys may only make gifts to my spouse
	My attorneys may only make gifts to my spouse and any of my blood relatives
	My attorneys may only make gifts to my spouse and any of the blood relatives of myself or of my spouse

What about gifts to the Attorneys themselves

	My Attorneys may not make any gifts to themselves - ever
	My Attorneys may make gifts to themselves
	My Attorneys may make gifts to themselves but only for their health, support or maintenance

Treating everyone equally. If a gift is made to one of your children or grandchildren should a similar gift be made also to each of your other children or grandchildren. If it is a special occasion gift (such as a 21st birthday or other significant age birthday) or marriage then we will say that the other get the gift on their significant birthday or marriage. If it is not for this, then we will say that they all get the gift at the same time.

If a gift is made to one of your children or grandchildren should a similar gift be made also to each of your other children or grandchildren

	Yes
	No

You should also bear in mind that large gifts to one person and not another may not be taken into account when dividing up your estate when you die. You should review your Will if this might apply to you.

Payments to my Attorneys

Family maintenance and support

Open

This Power authorises paying your Attorneys for their time doing work as your Attorneys.

The starting point is that Attorneys are not allowed to pay themselves for their time spent in looking after your affairs. Do you want to pay your Financial Attorneys for their time? If so, do you want to put a limit on the amount that they are paid?

Any Financial Attorney who gets advice or assistance from a lawyer or accountant will be entitled to be reimbursed for the reasonable costs incurred.

[field_1456487241255_128]

Do you want your Attorneys to be paid a reasonable amount for their time spent in looking after your financial affairs

special conflict yes no

	No, I do not want them to be paid for this
	Yes, I want them to be paid a reasonable amount for their time without setting any limit on this
	Yes, I want them to be paid a reasonable amount for their time but I want to set a limit on this

Limit for each hour, month or financial year for each attorney

This appears as:

Can you please double - check that amount.

Some lawyers might include an option to pay an Attorney who is a professional person at their usual professional rate. Why didn't I?

I am not in favour of choosing your professional advisors as an Attorney. In my opinion it is better to choose a family member or friend. Then those times when professional advice is needed, your Attorney can pay to get that advice. For everything else there won't be that expense and decisions will be made by people who really know you and what you would want. And why pay professional rates for simple tasks that these people would be happy to do for you anyway.

Family maintenance and support

Open

This Power requests that your Attorneys continue to use your usual doctor, lawyer, accountant etc.

You may wish to direct your attorneys that they must continue to use your accountant, lawyer or financial advisor. You may have great confidence in those people. They may have a special understanding of your affairs and personal circumstances.

You may also consider that they would also look out for your best interests and be more likely to give firm advice that reflects their view on this. Your doctor is not on this list as that is a decision for a Medical Attorney.

Reporting to other people and providing statements

Family maintenance and support

This Power requires your Attorneys to provide reports to other people.

There is no legal obligation on a Financial Attorney to report to anyone about your affairs and what they have done or what they have done. Or even to provide copies of bank statements. I can add a requirement that they must do this. Any expenses connected with this will be paid from your funds.

Making changes to your superannuation

Family maintenance and support

Open

This Power helps to protect your plans for your superannuation when you die.

Some Superannuation Funds allow you to sign a nomination document in advance in which you tell the Trustees who you want the money paid to. These usually only last a few years and then they need to re-signed. This power lets your Attorneys renew your choice.

If your nomination is not protected then your superannuation may no end up in the hands of people you chose. The risk of disputes increases. It may affect your plans for how your superannuation and other assets are to be shared when you die. And it may increase any tax to be paid.

Changing superannuation funds or taking lump sums out of your superannuation can do the same things. If you choose this option then I will require your Attorneys to see an experienced accountant before doing any either or these things.

[field_1456487241255_128]

Do you want to include these clauses about your superannuation

Condition client Certificate of incapacity

	Yes, I want my Attorneys to renew my nominations and to see an accountant before making big changes

Life insurance is similar. You own the insurance but, separately, you say who the insurer is to payout to (the beneficiary). A life insurance policy often says that it is to be paid to spouse or to your estate.

Do you want to include a clause stopping your Attorneys from changing the beneficiary of any insurance policy except with the consent of the current beneficiary.

Condition client Certificate of incapacity

	Yes, I want a restriction on my Attorneys changing the beneficiary of my insurance
	No, I do not want this

Making changes to your Family Trust or Private Company

Family maintenance and support

Open

This topic is about control of your family trust or company.

This topic only applies if you are the Trustee of a Family Trust or hold special powers over it (perhaps as an Appointor). It also applies if you are the Director or majority shareholder in a company.

Are you involved in any Family Trusts or private companies

family trust applies yes no

	Yes, it might apply to me
	No, I am not involved at all in Family Trusts and private companies

Are you or [field_1456488037149_142] involved in any Family Trusts or private companies

family trust applies yes no

	Yes, it might apply to us
	No, neither of us are involved at all in Family Trusts and private companies

While your Attorney cannot make decisions as the Trustee of the Family Trust, they can make decisions in other roles such as an Appointor.

While an Attorney can't make decisions as a Director acting in your place, they may vote with your shares to choose who to appoint as the new Director (which may include themselves in their own right). Or they may enter into Shareholder Agreements and other documents that affect the future direction and control of the company.

If the company is the Trustee of a Family Trust then control of the company effectively passes over the control of the Family Trust.

I can't write special rules for your Attorneys on this topic as it involves reading your legal documents, and learning about your family and business affairs. There are a range of possible legal solutions to be considered. You should see your lawyer about this. This may be done in a way that does not need any special rules to be added to your Power of Attorney.

But in the unusual times of COVID-19 I suggest that if you can't do this or want something immediate for the rest of your assets and accepting the risk that there may be implications later on for the management of your Family Trust or private company then you might still proceed with your Power of Attorney now.

The safest general advice would be that if you are appointing your children that you should appoint all your children and not allow them to work independently. (as explained in your options earlier when you chose the number of Attorneys and how they are to work together). Or, you could appoint your Spouse alone / your Spouse together with all your children / your Spouse then all of your children.

If the children come from different relationships and are included in the beneficiaries of the Trust, then you may want to get each side of the family an equal say - and appointment the same number from each side and require them to work together.

Conflict and Personal Benefit

All Attorneys must always put the interests of the person who appointed them first. They may must not profit from their position. For example, by making gifts to themselves or paying their personal bills. We call this getting a personal benefit.

They must not put themselves in a position where it is not clear that they might even make a profit from doing something that is meant to be your benefit. For example, by buying your house or using their own business to provide things for you. Or getting control of your business/company/trust where they potentially stand to get a benefit like a promotion, special payment or preference as a beneficiary over and above what anyone else might get or expect. We call this a conflict of interest.

You can choose to give special permission for a benefit or a conflict to your Attorneys.

finish this topic off and query a topic to allow them to carry on a business - refer to the speciasl Power of Attorney for a lawyer.

Examples would be if there was good reason for you to let them buy something from you or that you want to choose them to control your Family Trust when you are incapacitated. (Note, a choice in your Will about the control of your Family Trust does not operate until you die and so it does not help when you are incapacitated before this).

You may reduce the risk giving special permission if you have chosen multiple Attorneys who must always work together. This was a choice that you could make when choosing how many attorneys you wanted and how they were to work together.

Warning! We warn you to be very, very careful before deciding to use this and recommend that you do not choose this option unless you have first discussed your situation with your personal solicitor.

Information on other issues about the powers of your Attorneys.

Arranging for your marriage or divorce

An Attorney can never do this for you. Although they could arrange your Property Settlement or application to the Courts for a Property Settlement. No special Power is required for this.However, they should see a lawyer urgently if you are unwell and have not sorted out your property settlement,

Making decisions about your health and care

A Financial Attorney can never do this for you. You also need a Medical Power of Attorney for this. In South Australia you can appoint an Enduring Guardian to be that person and may give Advanced Care Directive on particular issues. Our Power of Attorney documents include that they are to be read in conjunction with any Advanced Care Directive.

Making a new Will for you or changing your current Will

An Attorney can never do this for you. But they should see a lawyer if you are incapacitated and there is something plainly wrong with the Will. Or the Rules of Intestacy (that divide your Estate when you die if you don't have any Will) would be plainly wrong for you. In rare cases the Court can help your Attorneys before you die. No special power is required for this.

Appointing an Attorney for a single transaction

If you only want to appoint an Attorney to handle only one or two things for you (perhaps the sale of a house) or for a limited time - then this is not the right type of Power of Attorney for you. You should see a lawyer to discuss the other options available to you.

Using your Power of Attorney interstate

Your South Australia Power of Attorney will be automatically recognised in the other States - except in Western Australia. There you need approval to use an interstate Power of Attorney. In some States you may need to register your Power of Attorney before using it, but that is easy.

In Western Australia they have a maximum of 2 attorneys and 2 substitute attorneys. If you have assets in Western Australia then we recommend either making a Power of Attorney under their laws or limiting yourself to 2 attorneys.

International assets

ou may have overseas assets and you may want to appoint an Attorney to deal with those. This form is not suitable for this as the laws are different in each country. You should instead speak to a solicitor in Australia or in the country where you want your Attorney to work.

Digital assets can be tricky though as anything that you have online is likely to be located or controlled overseas. Digital assets can include anything stored in the cloud (photos etc) and any online subscriptions such as your email. Hopefully it is enough that your Attorneys have access to a list of your sites, usernames and passwords.

But .... just in case, we include a provision in your Power of Attorney authorising your Attorney to control your digital assets. We also provide that your Attorneys may get a certificate to help prove that your Attorney currently has the authority to access and change those accounts.

If you have valuable digital assets or they are important to you or your business, then please see a lawyer.

"Joint" Attorneys does not mean what you think

How many people should you choose as your Attorney

A couple who have children together will most often appoint each other and then the children all as a group OR they will appoint each other then the children in reserve.

You can skip this page if you like. There are examples on the next page. You can always come back.

Jointly means that they must always work together – you are appointing the whole team and not the individuals. So if something happens to one of these people then you no longer have the whole team and the authority of the remaining team members stops. This is the way to go if you are not fully comfortable that individuals will do the job properly on their own.

You hope and expect and trust that neither of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting the other Attorney, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then the another person is appointed to fil the vacancy so that you still have two attornyes.

Error! You said that the you wanted the same people for both your Financial Attorney and your Medical Attorney. That was at the top of the previous page. We have now detected that you have then gone on to make changes to either the Financial Attorney pages or to these Medical Attorney pages.

We have cleared the answers on these Medical Attorney pages in order to prevent errors.

If you really meant to make both the Financial and Medical Attorneys the same, then go back to the Financial Attorney pages and get the arrangements and details of names and addresses etc correct. Then come back to the arrangements for your Medical Attorneys page (the page before this one) and select either to make the details the same (which will automatically copy over the arrangements and those people's details) or select that you want to do something different.

Error! action on next page button to this page that if names on client Attorney don't match names on client med and they are meant to, then clear the button and billing same as financial and reveal the warning note

Jointly then a substitute [field_1456488037149_142] has the safety that neither attorney can make a decision on their own. But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then the another person is appointed to fil the vacancy so that [field_1457314034668_583] still has the two attornyes working together.

The substitute does nothing and has no rights until one of the original attorneys dies or is incapacitated. Do not change the number of attorneys, we shall make a space for them in addition to the two that your chose.

If another of the original attorneys or the substitute attorney then dies or becomes incapacitated then the remaining Attorney can do nothing on their own. [field_1456488037149_142] no longer has a working Power of Attorney.

Jointly and Severally [field_1456488037149_142] does not have the safety that no attorney can make a decision on their own. But [field_1457314034668_583] does have a lot more flixibility.

The Attorneys can make decisions together - or one of them can make a decision on their own. That may be because the other Attorney is unavailable, or it is a small decision or simply because that is what they decide to do - even if it is a large decision. [field_1456488037149_142] hopes and expects and trusts that neither of them wouldn't make a big decision without consulting the other Attorney, but there is nothing to force them to do so.

If one of these Attorneys dies or is incapacitated then the remaining Attorney can continue on their own.

But if one of them dies or is incapacitated then we change it so that the three Attorneys who are alive and capable are able to continue with just the three of them. If another Attorney dies or is incapacitated then [field_1456488037149_142] will no longer have a minimum number of Attorneys (the minimum is now three) and so [field_1457314034668_583] will no longer have a working Power of Attorney.

The four Attorneys can make decisions together - or one of them can make a decision on their own. Or two of them could make a decision together. Or three of them could make a decision together. That may be because the other Attorneys are unavailable, or it is a small decision or simply because that is what they decide to do - even if it is a large decision.

When do you want your Medical Attorney to start?

A Medical Power of Attorney (Advanced Care Directive) can only start when you are incapacitated.

There is no option to start it at any earlier time. There is no shortcut for your doctor to just write a letter saying that you are incapacitated from making decisions about your health and lifestyle.
