August in Australia is often a month where we are reminded, sadly, of our mortality as the cold weather affects the vulnerable in our community and we are reminded of the importance of having our affairs in order. In previous issues we have referred to recent cases conducted by us which have tested and challenged wills and other documents prepared to protect those whom we seek to protect, and we are pleased to report that the wills have withstood the challenge. |

We strongly advise every adult to have a will and if you or a loved one are often absent from Australia, or have a high risk of being incapacitated due to health or other reasons, we strongly advise the preparation of an enduring power of attorney and appointment of guardian. In this issue we discuss these matters further. |
