Powers of attorney & healthcare directives allow you to appoint someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions for you if you become unable to do so. These documents are a critical part of a complete estate plan and help ensure that your wishes are respected.
Why it Matters
Without these documents, your loved ones may need to seek court approval to manage your financial or medical affairs. Planning ahead ensures trusted individuals can act on your behalf and helps avoid unnecessary legal complications.
What's Included
- Durable financial power of attorney
- Healthcare power of attorney
- Living will or advance healthcare directive
- Appointment of trusted decision-makers
- Guidance on how and when the documents take effect
- Signing meeting
Who Needs This
Any adult who owns a home or carries simple assets should have a Last Will and Testament to decide who inherits their assets and who manages the estate.
For more complicated situations with multiple assets in different areas, a trust might be a better fit.
Process
To get the process started, simply call Veres Law. We will discuss your situation and what is best for you. I will then draft the documents, then we coordinate a meeting to review, sign, and notarize.
