Planning your estate is an important part of getting your affairs in order, so your loved ones will know your wishes after your passing. Estate planning is also a good way to ensure that someone you trust has power of attorney if you're not able to make decisions for yourself, and that includes matters related to your healthcare.
While it's often an uncomfortable subject to discuss, estate planning is a vital part of creating peace of mind for yourself and the people you care about. Working with P. Wilkinson Law LLC makes that easier, and allows you to set up all the specifics for your will and other needs. Making sure your wishes will be honored matters, and we can help you prepare for your passing the right way.
There's no need to go through the process of creating a will and power of attorney documents on your own. It's important to make sure you have a legal advocate who can support your goals and understand the specific needs you have, reducing anxiety and helping you feel more secure.
Your last will & testament is a vital document that will let your loved ones know about your wishes and distribute what you have in your estate. If you don't have a will, or haven't updated yours in a long time, let P. Wilkinson Law LLC help you prepare.
We can talk with you about your heirs, your assets, and any specific or significant details. That makes it easier for the people who care about you to know what you want when you pass away, including any funeral or burial arrangements you'd like to have carried out, or other requirements.
A durable power of attorney is used when someone can't make their own decisions, and they've designated someone else to make those decisions for them. This document encompasses all the important areas of life, and helps you know a trusted person will take over when you need them.
By choosing a power of attorney, your affairs will be handled properly if you're incapacitated or otherwise unable to make any decisions on your own. We can help you create a durable power of attorney that will protect you and designate a person you trust to help you in the event that you need it.
A healthcare power of attorney is specific to that area of life, and is not the same as a durable power of attorney. If you want a loved one to be able to make medical decisions for you, this is the document you need.
When you have a healthcare power of attorney, your loved one can act as you, choosing medical treatment options and whether to turn off life support. Making sure you have this in place can help ensure that your wishes are honored, and that the choices you would make during a medical event are handled by the person you've designated.
