Understanding The Different Roles Each Person Can Play
Jane Harris-Perry became an attorney after helping her parents with their estate plan and since then has helped countless clients navigate this complex area of the law. One piece of advice she gives to our clients is this: your will is unique to you; it is as personal a document you can get. You need to take immense care with the people you associate with you elder care plan because of the vast responsibilities associated with these roles:
- A power of attorney will speak on your behalf when it comes to your private affairs.
- A healthcare directive explicitly states your wishes when it comes to medical care, should you become incapacitated.
- A conservatorship is best for someone who wants a person they trust to manage their financial affairs due to old age, physical and mental limitations.
- A guardianship can be established so that an appointed loved one can make sure you get the care you need as you age.
Having someone you trust in these roles is vital. We are here to discuss your options, foster those sometimes difficult and awkward conversations and take the stress off of your shoulders. We can also help you update your preferences should you change your mind, such as in the aftermath of a divorce.
