Getting your legal affairs in order - a story from a cancer survivor.
“I was diagnosed with cancer. It was a confusing and busy time with appointments, blood tests, PET scan, eco cardiogram etc.
The day before I was to start chemo, I had a lot of ‘what ifs’ going through my mind. What if the medication doesn’t agree with me and I have an adverse reaction? What if it makes me unconscious? What if I lose my mental capacity? So, I did the right thing for my family and called my lawyer.
Barwick Boitano Lawyers helped me get my affairs in order within a matter of hours. They prepared an Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship straight away so I could start my treatment with peace of mind. If any of the ‘what ifs’ came true, my husband would be able to step in and take care of me, my affairs and my family easily with the Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian.
I made it through the treatment and am thankfully now cancer free.”
