Estate planning
More than a Will. A plan for everything that follows.
Planning your estate protects you, and the people you love, if you fall ill or pass away unexpectedly. Writing your Will is the first step. A full estate plan covers the rest.
The four parts

Nominate a person to manage your financial or legal affairs on your behalf.
-
Medical Decision Maker
Choose a trusted person to make medical decisions for you if you cannot.
-
Advance Care Directive
Record your wishes for health and medical care, to guide your decision maker.

Estate Planning.
Planning your estate is essential to protect you and your loved ones should you fall ill or pass away unexpectedly. Writing your Will is the first step, but it’s important to understand that there are assets that your Will doesn’t cover automatically.
What is an Estate Plan?
An estate plan includes making a Will, setting up trusts, choosing an executor, setting out your wishes for your funeral and more.
An estate plan consists of the following parts:
A Will

Enduring Power of Attorney
This document allows you to nominate a person to manage your financial or legal affairs on your behalf.
Medical Decision Maker
This element allows you to choose a trusted person to make medical decisions for you.
