QLD Wills and Powers of Attorney

The Wills and Powers of Attorney matter types in LEAP have been updated to more accurately reflect modern relationships, to improve the quality of information that can be recorded on the electronic matter and to maximise automation within the LEAP forms and precedents. The “single” version of the forms have been re-coded to enable use with both single and mutual matter types and therefore the Husband and Wife versions of the forms have been removed as they are no longer required.

The matter types are now:-

Wills – Single
Wills – Mutual
Power of Attorney – Mutual
Power of Attorney – Single
Advance Health Directive – Mutual
Advance Health Directive – Single

Each matter type has been set to default to:-

Wills – Single		Wills – Mutual
Client = Client		Client = Client
Other Side = Executor		Other Side = Substitute Executor
Other Side’s Solicitor = Substitute Executor		Other Side’s Solicitor – Client 2 Substitute Executor

The majority of changes have been made to the Wills – Mutual matter type.

As part of the next stage of the review, the Power of Attorney Details (POA) table will be removed so that the forms can be completed directly. This is in response to user feedback and will provide greater flexibility in completing information and using checkboxes. Where data has already been completed in the POA table, the forms will still populate with that data, however for new matters, the POA table should no longer be used and the forms should be completed directly in Word.
