Appointing Multiple Attorneys or Guardians

Law Tram’s Wills and Powers of Attorney Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Shared Decision-Making Can Provide Balance and Protection

Many people prefer to appoint more than one attorney or guardian to share decision-making responsibility. This can reduce the risk of misuse of power, ensure checks and balances, and provide continuity if one appointee cannot act. However, it also requires careful legal drafting to avoid conflict or confusion between decision-makers.

A lawyer can help you structure appointments so that each person’s authority is clear. They can also explain whether your attorneys or guardians should act jointly, separately, or in a combination of both, depending on the types of decisions they will make.

Law Tram connects you with experienced lawyers who can ensure your multiple appointments work smoothly and reflect your preferences.
