WILLS, POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND REPRESENTATION AGREEMENTS

An essential feature of any estate plan is a will that allows an individual to decide how his or her assets will be handled following their death. With proper planning, you will have the peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out and that your family will be cared for.  A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint another person to assist you with your financial decision making in the event that in the future, you become legally incompetent.  A Representation Agreement allows you to appoint another person to assist you with health care related decision making in the event that you become incompetent and cannot yourself give informed consent to your health care providers.
