Choosing an Attorney to Be Your Voice
In the ACT your spouse or your next of kin have no legal entitlement to make formal substitute decisions on your behalf unless there is an Enduring Power of Attorney in place.
In completing an Enduring Power of Attorney you are legally appointing a person to act on your behalf if or when you may be unable to speak for yourself due to temporary or permanent incapacity.
Do you have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place?
YES
