Before illness, accident, age or simply unavailability results in a person no longer being able to handle his or her affairs, there are steps that can be taken to ensure that important financial and health care decisions can continue to be made.  Taking such steps can avoid the costly, time consuming and public nature of obtaining a guardianship or conservatorship.  The firm provides legal counsel and documentation to address this, including the following:

• Durable Powers of Attorney
• Health Care Proxies
• Living Wills and Advanced Directives
• HIPAA Waivers
• DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Orders
• Guardianships and Conservatorships
