Dedicated Estate Planning, Wills, and Probate Attorneys
When you see our lawyers about drafting a will or creating a comprehensive estate plan, we generally recommend that you execute the following additional documents:
- A power of attorney: This designation allows you to name someone to make financial decisions on your behalf in the event of your incapacity.
- A living will: This document provides directives as to what type of medical treatment you want administered by health care professionals in certain scenarios. For example, a living will can outline when you would want life support machines turned off during a sickness with no possibility of recovery.
- A health care power of attorney: This designation allows you to name someone to make health care decisions on your behalf in the event of your incapacity.
We routinely produce this package of documents all at once so our clients can acquire peace of mind as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible.
