Emergency Legal Documents

Congratulations on downloading your FREE Emergency Legal Documents and taking the first step towards protecting yourself in case of a medical emergency that requires someone else to make your medical and/or financial decisions. These documents should be keystones in even the most basic estate plans.

When faced with an incapacitating situation, your legal rights and well-being are vulnerable without your voice. And the reality is that your family and loved ones may not know how to respond, and may not know what you would want. So even if they all have the best intentions, chances are (1) they will not all agree with each other, which could bring even further chaos; and (2) they may not do as you would want. 


This means that decisions made on your behalf could be in conflict with your own views. And, this should never be the case, because you should always be in charge of the decisions that impact your health, life, and assets.

As we discussed in the prior video, there are two main reasons to have your Health Care Directives in place. 

You Will Be In Control

The first reason is to make sure you will be in control.

 

In the event you are not able to directly do so, you still want to be in control and in charge of all the health care decisions affecting you, including who you decide will be responsible for voicing those decisions. Making your medical wishes known now, before there is a need for them, is essential in maintaining your autonomy. 


Peace of Mind For Your Loved Ones

The second reason for the Health Care Directives is that they will provide peace of mind for your loved ones.

 

Without a plan in place expressing your wishes, your family and doctors are left without direction; they are left to guess the type of care or life-sustaining treatment you would want. 

 

But, when you are clear what your decisions are and who you are choosing to voice those decisions, you are ensuring that there will be less conflict among your loved ones. Now no one will be guessing or questioning what you would want or what to do.

 

So, here are some guidelines for you to consider regarding your Health Care Directives:

 

1.     What types of medical treatment do you want and not want?

2.     How comfortable and pain-free do you want to be? To what measures?

3.     What do you want your loved ones to know? 

4.     Who do you want to make healthcare & medical decisions for you if you are not able to make those for yourself? 

 

When deciding who you want to designate as your Surrogate, it is important that you fully trust them, and that this person (or persons) know what you would want. And, of course, that they will have the ability to carry your decisions thru.


Selecting the right people to voice your medical preferences is critical – which is why you should do it thoughtfully. The alternative could very well be that a court will appoint your Surrogate, and you certainly would not want that!


The Importance of a Power of Attorney and How to Select Your Agent

By now you know the reasons for having these documents in place long before you need them, so that if you do need them – you can remain in control and provide peace of mind for your loved ones!


The Power of Attorney, document is intended to cover your financial matters.


That is, in the event you are unable to make your own decisions while still living, how would your financial life continue?

  •     Who would be able to use your money to pay your mortgage and other bills?
  •     Who would manage your investments and file your taxes? 

 

Whether your incapacitation occurs because of an accident, illness or simply from the effects of aging, a Property Power of Attorney will allow you to select someone you trust to look out for your financial wellbeing and act in your best interest.

 

So, when deciding who you want to designate as your Agent, it is important that you fully trust them, and that this person (or persons) will do what you would want, not what they would want.


For example, if you have pets and caring for them is important to you, will your agent use your funds for the proper care of your pets, or will spending your money on your pets seem like a frivolous and wasteful thing to do with your money? Someone else’s intentions may be good, but may not be in line with what you would want.


And lastly, make sure that the agent you are appointing has the ability to carry your decisions thru. This does not mean that they have to handle the matters themselves; but it does mean that they will have the ability to ensure the matters are handled. For example, if your taxes need to be filed, will they have the ability to hire a qualified tax preparer?


Selecting the right people to handle your financial affairs is critical – which is why you should do it thoughtfully. The alternative could very well be that a court will appoint your Agent, and then supervise and oversee your affairs. This would be a very expensive and inefficient way for your affairs to be managed, and you certainly would not want that!!

Now, that you have made sure to have your Health Care Directives and financial Power of Attorney, let’s talk about what’s next.

 

Once your Emergency Legal Documents are signed, witnessed and notarized, it’s time to ensure the people you’ve named as agents to make decisions on your behalf, have copies of your documents (preferably electronic copies that they can readily access), so that they can present the documents to your medical providers and financial institutions, if needed. It won’t do you or them any good if your documents are stored in a safety deposit box that no one can access. 

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are proud to be helping families and to be a resource for our community during times of health and prosperity as well as during more challenging times. Our commitment is to make a difference one family at a time.

 

Remember, these are only emergency documents. They are extremely useful for medical decisions, but they provide only limited management for your assets. These documents, though valuable, are not a substitute for an estate plan.

 

If you prefer to set up a comprehensive estate plan, that would allow the efficient management or distribution of your assets, we offer you:

  • Flexible video consultation
  • Preparation of the documents within 10 working days
  • Safe document signing protocol.

 

What we want is for you to always be able to decide for yourself how your affairs should be handled and by whom.

 

Congratulations on getting started.

 

And, once again, thank you for all you do!
