An Advance Health Directive (AHD) in Queensland ensures your healthcare wishes, including Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) instructions, are legally followed, giving you and your loved ones clarity and peace of mind. Many Queensland residents assume that a Will or Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) covers medical decisions, but only an AHD legally records your healthcare choices if you cannot communicate. At Bennett Carroll Solicitors, we guide clients through AHDs as part of comprehensive estate planning, Wills, and Enduring Powers of Attorney. We provide Queensland-wide legal services from our conveniently located offices in Stafford (Brisbane North), Upper Mount Gravatt (Brisbane South), Kawana Waters/Birtinya (Sunshine Coast), Mermaid Beach (Gold Coast), and by appointment in Ipswich and Brisbane Central, with flexible consultations available via phone, secure email, video conferencing, or in-person visits.

Advance Health Directives in Queensland: Protect Your Healthcare Decisions Through Estate Planning

Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) Queensland – Crucial Estate Planning for 2026 The Description: Secure your future with an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) in Queensland, the essential legal document often overlooked in standard estate planning. Unlike a General Power of Attorney, an EPOA "endures" beyond your loss of decision-making capacity, ensuring that a trusted attorney can manage your financial matters, personal care, and health decisions according to your wishes. Without a valid EPOA Form 2 (Short Form) or Form 3 (Long Form), your family may be forced into costly and stressful proceedings at the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) to appoint a guardian or administrator. This comprehensive guide from Bennett Carroll Solicitors explores the vital role of the Powers of Attorney Act 1998 (QLD), the difference between immediate financial authority versus capacity-triggered powers, and how to choose an attorney who understands your values. Whether you are navigating dementia planning, protecting property assets in Brisbane, or ensuring your Advance Health Directive is supported, a professionally drafted EPOA is your ultimate safeguard against elder abuse and legal uncertainty. Don't leave your legal health to chance—learn why every adult over 18 in the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and across Queensland needs this rock-solid protection as part of their succession planning.
