Understanding Enduring Guardianship

Enduring guardianship becomes active when the principal is deemed incapable of making informed decisions, often due to reasons like mental illness, disability, or advanced age. This legal arrangement is especially significant in managing healthcare and personal welfare decisions, ensuring that your preferences are honoured even if you’re unable to communicate them.

What is the difference between an Enduring Guardian and a Power of Attorney?
An Enduring Guardian is authorised to make personal, health, and lifestyle decisions, whereas a Power of Attorney is limited to financial and legal decisions.
As long as the principal has the capacity, they can amend the terms of the enduring guardianship to better align with their changing needs or circumstances.
Selecting an Enduring Guardian involves careful consideration of the individual’s ability to respect your wishes, their understanding of your values, and their capability to make decisions in your best interest. We guide you through this process to help you make an informed decision.
