  • Wills and Advance Medical Directives


    Will:     A Last Will and Testament explains your desires upon your death. It controls the disposition of your property, provides for guardianship of minor children, and may cover other areas such as funeral desires. A will is not effective until death.

    Living Will: A living will expresses your desires regarding medical treatment and termination of life support in the event of a terminal, incurable medical condition.

    Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare: This power of attorney appoints a trusted person to make medical care decisions in the event of incompetence or if you cannot speak for yourself.

  • Powers of Attorney


    General POA:     A general POA allows you (the grantor) to give a broad range of powers to a trusted person (the grantee) to act on your behalf in areas such as banking transactions, business transactions, selling of real estate and personal property, and taxes. Note that certain military offices, such as Finance or Personnel offices, are unlikely to accept General Powers of Attorney.

    Special POA: A special POA grants limited authority to a trusted person to perform specific acts on your behalf such as selling a car, accessing a bank account, or managing property.
