Is an Enduring Guardianship different to an Advance Care Directive?
Yes, when you appoint an Enduring Guardian you are making a legal appointment for a substitute person who will make personal and lifestyle decisions for you. There is no statute law in NSW in regard to Advance Care Directives. This document sets out your wishes about future medical treatment you would like, or not like, to receive. What happens if I get married? Like a Will, if you make the appointment of an Enduring Guardian and then marry after that date it will automatically revoke the appointment. (Marriage will not revoke the appointment if you marry the person you appointed as your Enduring Guardian). We are able to assist you with your enquiries concerning the appointment of Enduring Guardians.
