Why Should I Have a Medical Power of Attorney?

At Your Wills we cater to a diverse range of needs. The appointment of a medical decision maker may not be at the forefront of your everyday thinking, however, in our experience, an orderly approach to medical responsibility and care sees families and individuals guided in times of uncertainty and hardship. For others, the decision to appoint a medical decision maker represents a proactive step to ensure peace of mind for future and uncertain possibilities.

What is a medical decision maker?

Each state and territory is governed by different legislation, which is why Your Wills use different names for a medical decision maker in each state and territory. You will find brief explanations of the terminology for each state and territory below.

A medical decision maker is a trustworthy individual of your choice appointed by you to make medical decisions on your behalf.

Your medical decision maker will be consulted when it is determined that you do not have capacity to make important medical decisions yourself. This could include neurological disabilities, an intellectual disability, a mental illness, a physical disability or even unconsciousness.

A medical decision maker is appointed through a document executed by the person whose medical decisions will be made for them, if required. Details on those documents for each state and territory are set out below.

It is important to keep in mind that such an appointment document is not a Will and will not remain in force once the appointor is deceased.

Should I take this step?

The reasons someone may decide to appoint a medical representative vary greatly, and there is no single directive for when an instrument appointing a medical decision maker should be used.

A number of factors may inform and guide this decision including situations where the person appointing a medical decision maker:

Has a chronic illness or injury;

Is elderly;

Has declining health;

Has a decided preference for who they want to make their medical decisions; or

Engages in dangerous recreational activities with a greater risk of injury and hospitalisation.

Reap The Benefits Of Writing A Living Will Online in Australia

Many people put off writing a Living Will in Australia because they believe it will be expensive or difficult. Perhaps they believe it is unnecessary because their possessions will automatically pass down to their spouse or children, or simply because they don't want to think about their own death. 

What Happens When You Don’t Write A Living Will In Australia

If you pass away without leaving a Living Will online, the law will decide how your estate is distributed. Although some property will pass automatically to a spouse or children, the exact distribution depends on the property's value and the terms of the title deeds. The only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend, is to have a Will. After all, it’s a matter of your family’s future without you. 

Appoint an Executor And Spell Out Their Responsibilities

You can choose who will oversee and manage the distribution of your estate by writing a Will. Choosing a trustworthy and unbiased will executor gives you peace of mind that your wishes are followed in its entirety.
