FAQs

Why Do I Need an Estate Planning Attorney?

Estate planning attorneys offer the benefit of specializing in the field of estate planning. This allows them to know the intricate nuances involved in estate planning. Estate planning can be difficult and complicated, so it is important to have an expert handle it for you.

What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney names someone to make decisions, both healthcare and financial, on your behalf in the case of your incapacitation or illness. It is important that everyone has Powers of Attorney in place.

A Living Will, also known as an advanced healthcare directive, allows you to decide whether you want to be kept alive by artificial means in the case of your illness beyond reasonable chance of recovery. It authorizes what sort of medical procedures you would want performed, as well as whether you want to be resuscitated or not.
