Take Control — Plan For Future Health Care And Financial Matters

Living wills and durable powers of attorney are vital components of a comprehensive estate plan. At Larmore Scarlett, LLP, we take great pride in helping clients secure their wishes through the creation of living wills and durable powers of attorney.

Whether you have specific needs regarding your end-of-life care or would like to appoint someone to make business/financial decisions in the event of your incapacity, we provide the comprehensive information you need to weigh your options and make informed decisions while creating a living will or establishing a power of attorney.

Retain Control Over Important Health Care Decisions

A living will (also known as an advanced directive for health care or advanced directive) allows you to carefully state your wishes regarding end-of-life care. For example, a living will can outline the situations and conditions under which you want to be kept alive via life-prolonging/sustaining machines.

We can help you create a living will and a health care power of attorney that thoroughly addresses all of your concerns and designates a trusted person to act as your agent.

Establish Who Will Manage Financial Matters When You Cannot

A durable financial power of attorney grants a designated person, usually a trusted family member or friend, the right to manage your financial affairs in the event of your incapacity or even out of convenience. You may make the scope of authority granted by a durable financial power of attorney as wide or as narrow as you wish.

By creating a durable financial power of attorney, you will avoid the time and expense of future guardianship proceedings. More importantly, it will grant you and your loved ones much needed peace of mind.

Should You Set Up A Living Will Or Power Of Attorney?

While both of these options present certain advantages under the law, they may be in conflict with your personal beliefs. No matter your position, we are here to answer your questions and address your concerns.

Our law firm has been helping clients plan for the future through wills, trusts and other estate planning tools since 1946. We always take the time to examine your situation, explore the law and explain your options.
