Every person who seeks elder law representation should also consider their general estate planning needs as well. This might include drafting a will, trusts, and other asset management entities to help you and your family manage your estate.
Some of the most important elder law planning documents are powers of attorney. A power of attorney is a legal document that empowers another person to act on your behalf in accordance with its terms. Powers of attorney can be limited in scope or grant wide powers so you are well taken care of.
There are many types of powers of attorney that may help in your long-term care:
General Power of Attorney: A document that gives general powers over most of your legal affairs.
Limited Power of Attorney: A more limited document that gives someone else specific powers over your life or is limited to a shorter timeframe.
Durable Power of Attorney: A document that is effective immediately but remains in effect even if you become incapacitated at a later date.
Springing Power of Attorney: A document that only becomes effective upon a set condition or event you determine. For example, most springing powers of attorney only become effective upon your incapacity, illness, or other event that makes it difficult to make your own decisions.
