At SR Lawyers, we provide professional Power of Attorney legal services across Victoria (VIC), New South Wales (NSW), and Queensland (QLD). Our experienced estate planning lawyers help individuals, families, seniors, and business owners prepare legally valid Power of Attorney documents tailored to their personal circumstances and future needs.

Whether you need an Enduring Power of Attorney, Financial Power of Attorney, Medical Decision-Making Appointment, or assistance with guardianship planning, we provide clear legal advice to help you make informed decisions with confidence.


What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint a trusted person (known as your attorney) to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

Depending on the type of appointment, your attorney may be authorised to make decisions relating to:

  • Financial matters
  • Property management
  • Legal affairs
  • Personal matters
  • Medical and healthcare decisions (where applicable under state law)

Having a properly prepared Power of Attorney helps ensure your wishes are respected while reducing uncertainty for your family during difficult times.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Power of Attorney and an Enduring Power of Attorney?

A standard Power of Attorney may cease if you lose legal capacity, while an Enduring Power of Attorney is designed to continue operating if you become unable to make decisions yourself, subject to the relevant state legislation.

Can I appoint more than one attorney?

Yes. Depending on your circumstances and the applicable law, you may appoint multiple attorneys to act jointly, severally, or jointly and severally.

Can I change or cancel my Power of Attorney?

Yes. Provided you still have legal capacity, you can usually revoke or replace your Power of Attorney at any time.

Do I also need a Will?

Yes. A Power of Attorney only operates during your lifetime. A Will governs how your estate is distributed after your death. Both documents are important parts of a comprehensive estate plan.
