Read more ›What is the difference between a lasting power of attorney and guardianship — and which is preferable?
A lasting power of attorney is prepared voluntarily while a person is legally competent, and allows them to choose who will manage their affairs in the future. Guardianship is a court process initiated after the person has already lost capacity. A lasting power of attorney is preferable whenever it can be prepared in advance — it is faster, confidential, and avoids a lengthy court proceeding.
Can mediation, a real estate transaction, and a will be handled by the same attorney?
Yes. Shoshi Arbib Law Office provides full support across all areas of practice under one roof: mediation, real estate transactions (including taxation), wills, inheritance, lasting powers of attorney, guardianship, and assisted living. Dual qualifications as an attorney and CPA allow both legal and tax aspects of a transaction to be addressed together.
Which services are particularly suitable for family members supporting an elderly parent?
The firm specialises in elder law and offers a complete range of services: drafting a lasting power of attorney, reviewing assisted living agreements, filing for guardianship, and advising on wills and inheritance. A first consultation with Shoshi Arbib can help identify which document is required based on the specific circumstances.
How does representation in a real estate transaction differ when the attorney is also a certified public accountant?
Real estate transactions require simultaneous legal and tax expertise. Dual qualifications allow the firm to handle the purchase agreement, land registry registration, capital gains tax, purchase tax, and betterment levy calculations — without the need to coordinate between a separate attorney and accountant.
What is the difference between mediation and court proceedings?
In mediation the parties reach an agreement with the help of a neutral mediator, retaining full control over the outcome — without a judge, without an imposed ruling, and in complete confidentiality. Court proceedings can last years, expose private information publicly, and intensify the dispute. Mediation is suitable for inheritance disputes, divorce, neighbour conflicts, and business disagreements.
