Comprehensive Durable

Power of Attorney Planning

We will guide you through the process of establishing a durable power of attorney that meets your specific needs and preferences. We explain the legal implications, discuss the scope of authority, and help you select a trusted agent to act on your behalf.

Personalized Legal Advice

We understand that each individual's circumstances are unique. Our attorneys take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and provide personalized legal advice tailored to your situation. We help you make informed decisions regarding the powers granted to your agent and ensure that your wishes are accurately reflected in the durable power of attorney document.

Capacity Assessment

To ensure the validity of the durable power of attorney, we can conduct capacity assessments when necessary. This involves evaluating your cognitive abilities and mental capacity to understand the implications of appointing an agent. By conducting a thorough assessment, we can mitigate the risk of challenges to the validity of the document.

Advanced Healthcare Directives

In addition to durable power of attorney, we can help you establish advanced healthcare directives, such as healthcare power of attorney and living wills. These documents provide instructions regarding medical treatment decisions in the event of your incapacity and ensure that your healthcare preferences are respected.

Agent Education and Responsibilities

We not only assist in establishing durable power of attorney documents but also educate appointed agents on their roles and responsibilities. We ensure that agents understand their fiduciary duties, legal obligations, and the scope of their authority. This helps promote transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making on behalf of the principal.

Regular Review and Updates

As life circumstances change, it is important to review and update your durable power of attorney periodically. We offer ongoing support to ensure that your documents remain current and reflect your wishes accurately. We can assist with updates and revisions whenever necessary.

Compassionate and Supportive Approach

At The Life & Legacy Counselors, we understand that discussing matters related to incapacity can be sensitive and emotional. Our team provides a compassionate and supportive environment, where you can openly express your concerns and receive the guidance you need. We are dedicated to helping you navigate this process with care and respect.
