We believe that every client needs an estate plan, regardless of net worth.
By creating an incapacity plan (which may include durable powers of attorney, living trusts, health care directives (living wills), mental health advance directives, etc.), clients take control of deciding who will assist them in managing affairs during a period of incapacity, establish a succession of backup decisionmakers, deciding whether to place limits on the extent of authority the person will have, providing declarations of certain key health care wishes, and preventing family having to engage in expensive and invasive court proceedings to establish a legal proxy for decisionmaking.
