Enduring Power of AttorneyA power of attorney is a formal document giving someone the power to act for you if you lose the capacity to make decisions yourself.
There are two types of an enduring power of attorney - one for your money and property affairs and the other for your personal care and welfare. You may wish to appoint different people to have enduring powers of attorney for these different areas.

TrustsThe benefits of a Trust are as many and varied as the people who establish them. Trusts in various forms have been providing asset protection for people for hundreds of years and while evolving with changing business conditions, their basic reasons for existence have remained the same.
- Protect your assets for the future
- Protect your assets from loss to creditors /business failure/relationship breakdown
- Reduce exposure to future new taxes (capital gains, estate duty?)
- Retain control over the disposition of your assets after your death
- Maximising tax efficiency
