Wills, Powers of Attorney, Advanced Directives
During your initial consultation, we will discuss estate planning options such as:
- Living wills: While many people are familiar with the term living will, Pennsylvania does not use this document in end-of-life decision-making. Rather, Pennsylvania uses advanced health care directives. Advanced health care directives cover an individual's wishes involving end-of-life health care preferences, such as the desire for or against life-sustaining measures.
- Powers of attorney: Powers of attorney, such as a durable power of attorney for health care and a medical power of attorney, enable you to appoint someone else to manage important matters when you are incapable of managing them yourself. Medical powers of attorney become effective if you are overcome with a serious illness or mental condition that affects your ability to care for yourself or even communicate or direct your care. Durable powers of attorney make sure that bills are paid and financial decisions can be made, in the event you are ever incapacitated.
- Medical and HIPAA releases: I am committed to creating comprehensive estate plans that include medical releases and HIPAA releases. Typically, I ensure that these releases are created in connection with medical powers of attorney. Without such documents, doctors are held to strict federal rules and therefore, cannot discuss your health care or treatment with loved ones.
