Certified Legal Document Preparation
One out of every two Americans will suffer a period of prolonged disability in his or her lifetime. Do you think that disability happens to the other guy?
Have you put your legal documents in order?
Are you the parent of a child or children who just turned 18 or will be in the coming year?
Do you realize that once your child turns 18 that you are legally barred from gaining information about your child’s financial situation unless you have a signed authorization form? Have you have talked to your parents, spouse, children about your medical wishes should you have a long term care illness or should you be diagnosed with a terminal condition?
Do you want to be kept alive at all costs should you be in a persistent coma or a vegetative state?
These questions and your answers to them may not put you at ease.I hope they didn’t unless you are one of the few who has done some pre-crisis planning.Everyday families are faced with situations that they never dreamed possible.Just recently our firm has seen two different clients who were under age 25—one of whom was in a serious car accident currently in a coma and needing help to pay for her long term stay at a nursing facility, and the other, who just graduated from college and has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
We each have a tendency to believe that these kinds of things won’t happen to us because we’re young and healthy.In the first situation the parents had to seek guardianship and conservatorship over their 25-year old daughter and must now seek court approval for every decision they have to make regarding this young lady’s life.
The minute you turn 18 years old you are responsible for your self.The decisions you make are your own and simple documents, like having a power of attorney in place that is effective only upon your disability, can save your family time and money should a situation arise like the ones referenced above.Many persons are afraid to put documents in place for fear that their agent will take advantage of them by using the document.My response to that is, “if you are afraid of that person taking advantage of you, then you are naming the wrong person.”It is important when doing any type of document that you understand its purpose.Many people do not realize that you can make a financial power of attorney document only valid upon your disability.For example, my financial power of attorney is completed and signed already.It names my spouse to be my agent in my place when I am unable to communicate or handle my own financial affairs.This document is only valid when my personal physician and a secondary physician state, in writing, that I meet that definition.It allows me to be prepared for the worst possible scenario while protecting myself in the meantime.
If you are over 18 years old and have not put your legal documents in place, won’t you consider saving your loved ones time and money?Get your documents done today!
