We plan for many important events in life. We plan for retirement, a wedding, vacations, and for a child’s education. Sadly, the health choices that are made at the end of life are seldom planned and many times they are made for us. Decisions are put off and desires are not expressed because it is difficult to contemplate or discuss death. There are many things to plan for at the end of life. Transfer of property and the well being of a spouse or child are all issues to be considered and planned for. However, the topic discussed here involves end of life health care issues, the importance of living wills, and advance directives. The principle way to ensure that your desires are fulfilled if you are no longer able to communicate your wishes is through a Living Will.

We currently have forms for a Parental Power of Attorney, a Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, a Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs, a Power of Attorney Revocation Form, and a Demand for Accounting by Agent Letter.
