Dealing With Incapacity

Estate planning is the process of setting up legal documents to ensure that, if you’re ever incapacitated, a person of your choosing will be able to make financial, health care and personal care decisions for you.

‍

Even if you're healthy now, it's important to consider estate planning.

‍

Estate planning involves putting legal documents in place to ensure that, if you’re ever incapacitated, a person of your choosing will be able to make financial, health care and personal care decisions for you. These documents can also help your loved ones avoid costly court battles over who should manage your assets, pay your bills, pay for your family’s needs, consent to medical procedures for you and make health care and personal care decisions on your behalf.

Without proper estate planning, your loved ones will be forced to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to get legal authority to manage your assets, pay your bills, pay for your family’s needs, consent to medical procedures for you and make health care and personal care decisions on your behalf – including terminating life support or choosing an assisted living facility and health care providers for you.
