Planning for incapacity is as crucial as planning for the distribution of assets. We assist in establishing powers of attorney to appoint trusted individuals who can manage your affairs and make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Our goal is to ensure that your healthcare and financial wishes are respected, even during challenging times.
Advance directives, including living wills and healthcare proxies, allow you to outline your healthcare preferences and appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you're incapacitated. We help you navigate these sensitive decisions with empathy and clarity, ensuring that your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care are clearly documented and legally enforceable.
