Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives

Due to circumstances such as illness, injury, or age, clients may become either mentally or physically incapable of caring for themselves or managing their

financial affairs. The firm can assist clients with planning for potential disability issues. By initiating the proper planning in advance, clients are able to manage

their assets and avoid guardianship and conservatorship proceedings by designating a dependable individual to handle the client’s affairs as well as set

directives involving life-sustaining treatment and end-of-life care. The firm will prepare the required instruments to empower individuals the client trusts to

act in their behalf and allow them to carry out the client’s financial and health care objectives.

In addition to permitting the client to determine decisionmaking authority over their own financial, property, or other legal affairs, powers of attorney permit

clients to establish objectives as to the care of minor children and dependents as well.
