Why Plan?
​During our lives there are several events that are usually meticulously planned often many months ahead, such as births, birthdays, engagements, anniversaries and marriages.

What is an Enduring Guardian?
An enduring guardian is someone you nominate to make personal or lifestyle decisions for you when you are not capable of doing this for yourself. If we had a choice, we would all prefer to make our own decisions about our lifestyle such as where we live and what medical treatment and services we have right up to the end of our life.
