Family Law

Life is unexpected, and it is important to have a plan in place to make sure your interests are protected, no matter what. If you should become physically or mentally incapacitated for any reason, a Power of Attorney will ensure that the person of your choosing is appointed to make financial and medical decisions for you. There are different types of Powers of Attorney, and it is important to understand these and how they may serve your needs. You also want to be certain that a Power of Attorney is properly established to avoid any issues if and when it goes into effect.
