I recently signed my Power of Attorney and Healthcare Proxy here at Lamson & Cutner! Advance directives are legal documents that provide instructions for medical care and other essential tasks that the chosen agent is legally able to perform for their loved one. These documents benefit more than just the geriatric population. It is far too common to hear about court battles over a person’s intent once an individual becomes incapacitated. A well-drafted power of attorney, along with health care directives like a healthcare proxy, help minimize the potential for family members to argue or disagree over a loved one’s wishes. I have ensured that if for any future reason I am unable to make my own medical decisions, my Healthcare Proxy will be able to act on my behalf. A Power of Attorney has the authority to act commensing upon signing. Come schedule an appointment with the amazing attorneys at Lamson & Cutner! They truly take the time to speak with you and recommend what legal services you may need.
