You Decide Who Decides (video)
You Decide Who Decides is a guide to help you think about making an enduring power for financial decisions—a legal document that lets you appoint a trusted person to manage your finances if needed.
It's called an 'enduring power of attorney' throughout Australia, except in the Northern Territory, where it's an 'Advance Personal Plan'.
