Legal, Attorney

Item Description

Gift Certificate good for Husband and Wife Wills, Health Care Proxy, and Durable Power of Attorney and in-depth consultation..

Advance directives – including health care proxies and living wills – allow you to define who will be responsible for your medical care decisions and the treatment you would like to receive.

A health care proxy is a legal document through which you appoint someone to make decisions about your care for you if you are unable to make those decisions for yourself. The person that you identify as your health care proxy has broad authority over your care and has access to all of your medical records.

A living will allows you to specify your preferences for medical care should you become terminally ill or it is not expected that you will recover from physical or mental disability or disease. It can give general guidelines, such as requesting no life-support if you are terminally ill, or specific instructions, such as banning the use of a breathing tube.

For most people, the durable power of attorney is the most important estate planning instrument available -- even more useful than a will. A power of attorney allows a person you appoint -- your "attorney-in-fact" or “agent” -- to act in place of you – the “principal” -- for financial purposes when and if you ever become incapacitated.
