Wills and Powers of Attorney

Having updated Wills and Powers of Attorney in place is essential to the implementation of your "Transitions Life Plan" to provide for the financial security of your special needs dependant after you are gone.


Any person, with a disability or otherwise, over the age of majority and with assets of any nature, should have a Will and Powers of Attorney for Personal Care and Property in place. Surprisingly, many people procrastinate and unknowingly leave themselves and their dependants open to significant risk. In many cases, Wills and Powers of Attorney exist but they are seriously out of date and do not reflect the Caregiver’s current wishes.


Having Wills and Powers of Attorney in place is even more critical when the security of a disabled dependant is involved. As the Caregiver, your Will, by virtue of the Family Law Succession Act, must provide for the dependant. As such, it is often important that the Will be written so as to create the absolute discretionary testamentary Henson Trust so that financial resources can be provided for your special needs dependant without disqualifying them from access to other benefits.


You cannot use Will Kits. You must ensure that any lawyer that you use is familiar with the necessary wording required to create an effective testamentary Henson Trust. Unfortunately many lawyers do not have this knowledge!


We use our expertise to help you with the disability specific wording in your Wills and Powers of Attorney. Do not go it alone; do not rely on a professional that may not be familiar with your goals and the legislative requirements. Let us give you peace of mind that the Wills and Powers of Attorney you create do in fact match your plans for your loved one after you are gone.
