Planning for the possibility of disability is a crucial part of any comprehensive estate plan, and two of the most important tools for doing so are a Durable Power of Attorney and a Health Care Power of Attorney. A Durable Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated, ensuring your bills are paid, your assets are protected, and your obligations are met without the need for a costly and time-consuming court guardianship. A Health Care Power of Attorney, on the other hand, gives a trusted person the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to speak for yourself. Together, these documents provide peace of mind and ensure that your wishes are respected and your affairs handled efficiently during a time when you may not be able to act for yourself.
