Advanced Directive Documents
An unfortunate effect of injury or aging is the loss of a person’s capacity to manage his or her own medical and financial affairs. To ensure that your estate plans are fulfilled even if you are in an incapacitated state, you can have advanced directives recorded and filed for the benefit of the individuals managing your affairs. These official documents can help you control the allocation of your estate in any circumstance.
Having an experienced and dedicated family attorney is crucial to being prepared for any circumstance regarding your personal estate. For more information on protecting your estate, please contact the Conroe advanced directive attorneys of Garg & Associates, P.C. by calling 281-362-2865.
Advanced Directive Basics
There are specific variables that control who can appropriately execute your financial and medical management. Advanced directives are documents that specify your desires for those variables. The following are types of advanced directives that are common in Texas:
- Statutory Durable Power of Attorney: specifies which person would have control of your estate in an instance in which you were incapacitated.
- Medical Power of Attorney for Health Care: specifies the person who should be made responsible for making decisions for you concerning medical care.
- Directive to Physician and Family or Surrogate: clarifies your wishes regarding life support and your personal health if you come close to death.
These types of documents extend your ability to control your estate and health no matter your physical or mental state. They also legalize the process for making these decisions and allow your loved ones to know your specific desires.
