Estate planning isn’t only about what happens after you pass away, it’s also about protecting yourself and your loved ones if you become unable to make decisions during your lifetime.
An illness, accident, or age-related decline could leave you temporarily or permanently incapacitated. Without the proper legal documents in place, your family may be forced into an expensive and stressful court process just to handle your medical or financial affairs.
Incapacity planning ensures that the people you trust most are legally empowered to step in and make decisions on your behalf, guided by your wishes and values.
A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint a trusted person—known as your agent—to handle your financial and legal matters if you become incapacitated.
This can include managing bank accounts, paying bills, handling real estate, filing taxes, or making important financial decisions on your behalf.
Without this document, your loved ones may need to go through a lengthy and costly court process of conservatorship to be given authority to act for you.
A durable power of attorney ensures continuity, prevents financial disruption, and gives you control over who manages your affairs.
Consultation Is Always Free
Empower someone you trust to make healthcare decisions that honor your values and wishes.
A Health Care Power of Attorney (sometimes called a Health Care Proxy) allows you to designate a health care agent to make medical decisions if you are unable to speak for yourself.
Your health care agent works with your doctors to ensure that your treatment aligns with your wishes.
This document provides peace of mind that medical decisions won’t be left to chance or to people who may not know what you would want. Instead, you’ve chosen the person you feel confident will speak for you in a crisis.
An Advance Health Care Directive (or “living will”) goes hand in hand with your health care power of attorney. While the health care power of attorney names who will make decisions, the advance directive provides essential guidance on what those decisions should be.
Your wishes concerning the use of CPR, ventilators, and other interventions to prolong life.
Instructions for ensuring your comfort and managing pain, even if such care might shorten your life.
Your decision to be an organ and tissue donor, providing the gift of life to others.
Guidance on the kind of care you wish to receive when facing a terminal condition, focusing on your personal values and quality of life.
