Why Families Trust Auxilliam
Planning Before a Crisis
We help families think through important decisions before circumstances make them urgent, giving everyone greater clarity about what may need to happen and when.
Your Wishes Come First
We take the time to understand what matters to you, your preferences and how you would like important personal, care and financial decisions approached.
The Financial Picture Matters
Where relevant, we consider the financial implications of future care and other decisions as part of the broader picture, within the scope of our financial advice authorisations.
Working Alongside Legal Professionals
Where legal advice or documents are required, we work alongside appropriately qualified legal professionals, rather than attempting to provide advice outside our role.
Bringing The Right People Together
With your permission, we can work alongside your existing advisers and relevant professionals, helping keep the financial, legal and practical considerations connected.
Support As Circumstances Change
Planning does not always end with one decision. We can continue to support you as your circumstances, needs or family situation change over time.

It is the process of considering who may make important decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so, and planning for your future care, finances and personal affairs.
Does Auxilliam prepare Powers of Attorney or other legal documents?
No. Legal documents are prepared by appropriately qualified legal professionals. Auxilliam can help you understand the considerations involved and work alongside your legal adviser where appropriate.

What is the difference between a Power of Attorney and Advance Care Planning?
