- Advising on resales, commissions, refund of rent, exit fees
But there are also many other things you need to
consider when thinking about retirement, including
ensuring your will and estate documents are in order,
these include:
- Power of Attorney – choose who you want acting on your
behalf financially, if you are unable to do so.
- Power of Enduring Guardian – choose who you want
making personal or lifestyle decisions for you if you
can’t make them for yourself (eg: If you are ill or
suffering from a mental or physical disability.)
- Family Trust Deeds – protect your family’s assets.
- Superannuation Deeds – choose how your super is to be
handled, including who is entitled to it upon your
death.
- Health Directives – stipulate how you are to be
