• Advance Directives: We can help create legal agreements that will describe what you would like to happen if you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions on your own. Powers of attorney for healthcare and property can name someone whom you trust to make decisions on your behalf, ensuring that your wishes will be followed.

A person may serve as the guardian of a minor child, or a guardianship agreement may be put in place to help a person meet the needs of a disabled or elderly adult. This will provide legal protections for both the guardian and the ward, ensuring that the person's needs will be met and that the guardian has the right to make decisions on their behalf.
