ATTORNEY PREPARED ESTATE DOCUMENTS

Our firm is currently offering the following services: Wills, Healthcare power of attorney, and Durable powers of attorney. If you do not already have these in place, now is the time to protect your interests and loved ones, particularly in these times. And, through a process known as Estate Planning you can make sure that you and your heirs are protected in the event of your incapacity or death. Estate Planning involves implementing several legal documents (tools) that your family can use to assist you in the event you cannot handle your own affairs. Then, those same tools can assist the family after you have passed away.

I. Wills and Trusts

A legal will is designed to let your intentions be known and usually includes the entire estate. To avoid potential disputes among beneficiaries, a will should be carefully drafted by an attorney. A trust is also an essential estate planning tool that will detail how the estate will be distributed. Through the use of a trust, you have the ability to decide which beneficiaries are to receive certain assets and how these assets will be given.

II. Health Care Power of Attorney

This is a legal instrument that allows you to appoint someone to make health care decisions for you if you're incapacitated. Think of Terri Schiavo.

III. Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney is a document that allows you to appoint a person or organization to handle your affairs while you're unavailable or unable to do so. The person or organization you appoint is referred to as an "Attorney-in-Fact" or "Agent.
There are three types of Powers of Attorney:
a.General Power of Attorney - authorizes your Agent to act on your behalf in a variety of different situations
b.Special Power of Attorney - authorizes your Agent to act on your behalf in specific situations only
c."Durable" Power of Attorney -The general, special and health care powers of attorney can all be made "durable" by adding certain text to the document. This means that the document will remain in effect or take effect if you become mentally incompetent.
