Your future, your decisions
Planning ahead helps ensure that your wishes are respected if an accident or illness leaves you unable to act. A spouse or child does not automatically have unrestricted authority to act on your behalf. This can be particularly significant where a home or children are involved.
Our firm advises you on planning for future incapacity. We explain the available options and help you prepare the necessary documents, including a power of attorney and an advance healthcare directive.
Some documents do not require notarisation and can be prepared by you following a consultation. If you choose to have your arrangements notarised, the related advice is included in the notarial fee. If you proceed with advice only, a consultation fee applies.
An earlier illustrative fee calculation used the following example: savings of €25,000 and a half share in a house worth €300,000. It quotes €246 plus VAT and expenses for notarising a power of attorney together with an advance healthcare directive, or approximately €100 plus VAT and expenses for advice alone. These figures are illustrative, rather than a current quotation; we will confirm the fees applicable to your circumstances.
