Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document that can give one person decision-making authority over the affairs of another. In establishing a power of attorney, you can give a trusted friend or family member the authority to write checks, manage bank accounts, pay bills and handle other important matters on your behalf.
If a power of attorney is not established, the court may establish a guardianship, appointing someone to make decisions about your affairs that you would not have chosen yourself. Our attorneys are here to help you keep the decisions in your hands, not the state’s.
Living Wills
A living will gives a trusted loved one the ability to make decisions regarding your health care should you become incapacitated and unable make those decisions yourself. It can give you the ability to decide if you want to be placed on life support if necessary and other important end-of-life decisions.
You have to look no further than the well-publicized case of Terry Schiavo to see the risks of not having a living will. Such a costly, drawn-out legal battle can be avoided with careful estate planning.
