An Enduring Guardian deals with the medical and lifestyle affairs on behalf of the person granting the Enduring Guardian (the Principal), once that person becomes partially or totally incapable of managing their own affairs. This includes where they live, heath care that they receive, dealing with doctors, nursing homes etc. This power will only operate if you become partially or totally incapacitated. This is an important document to have in place.
If you do not have an Enduring Guardianship in place when you lose capacity, a close relative or friend may apply to the Guardianship Tribunal to become your guardian. You can avoid the inconvenience and save time and costs by simply putting in place an Enduring Guardianship while you are mentally capable.
