An important part of life planning is ensuring that your legal affairs are in order, yet many of us simply put off drafting a Will, appointing an Executor or arranging a Power of Attorney.

In fact, recent Newspoll research found that 45% of adults in NSW alone have not planned for what happens to their assets after they are gone. This can cause many problems for families, including financial ones, when someone dies.

Equally, if a family member requires help in managing their financial affairs and they have not appointed a Power of Attorney, the situation can become quite complicated.
