Preparing for Death and Illness
When people think of estate planning, they often think of wills and trusts. In addition to end of life planning, however, it is important for people to plan for the possibility of an accident or illness. All too often, people become sick, injured, or otherwise incapacitated and their families simply do not know what to do. An advanced healthcare directive can help your family know how to proceed if you are severely injured by a stroke, accident, or serious medical condition.
Through the use of a financial power of attorney or healthcare power of attorney, you can provide a family member or loved one with the ability to make important decisions for your benefit in the event you are unable to care for yourself.
Guardianships
A guardianship allows for the appointment of a guardian to care for a person who is unable to care for themselves due to physical or mental incapacity. This is an especially invaluable legal instrument if you have children. If you need assistance with the creation of a guardianship for a loved one or family member, contact my office for assistance.
Wills and Trusts
I help clients draft simple wills and create trusts that are designed to help them pass their property onto their intended family members or loved ones. A carefully crafted estate plan can clarify your intentions, avoid unnecessary confusion amongst family members, and allow you to pass property to the party of your choice.
