Your WILL is assurance that personal
asserts and possessions will be distributed to whom you desire upon your
death. It may also provide immediate guardianship for your children and
include tax planning strategies for you and your family. Without a Will
you will be leaving your family with unnecessary confusion at a very difficult
time. We guide you step by step through the estate planning process so you
will be comfortable with these important decisions.
A LIVING WILL gives you the
opportunity to determine what medical treatment you are to receive in the
event that you should become terminally ill and permanently unconscious.
In Pennsylvania you have the legal and ethical right to make these determinations
while you are able to do so. If others do not know your wishes about treatment,
you may receive treatments that you don't want. You should plan ahead for
the time when you cannot make decisions about your medical treatment.
Few people realize the magnitude of financial and personal management
problems that can result if a disability should occur. A POWER
OF ATTORNEY gives authority to an agent to carry our predetermined
desires should this unexpected event occur. Three major areas to consider
for inclusion in a Durable Power of Attorney are Financial Management Personal
Care and Heath Care decisions.
If you are considering or have questions about Wills or Power
of Attorney, please contact the Family Legal Center, LLC. Attorney Laura
Cohen will be happy to assist you with any of your Estate Planning needs.
