Living Wills 

Modern medicine has brought many life-extending medical treatments. However, this extension of life can involve the extensions of suffering. Make sure your wishes around this matter are known. A living will is a legal document with which you direct your doctor if you are in an end-stage medical condition or a state of permanent unconsciousness. Learn more about living wills.

Appoint a Power of Attorney

If you become incapacitated or disabled without a power of attorney in place, the courts will be needed to appoint a guardian. A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint the individual who will manage your financial and medical affairs if you become disabled or incapacitated. More details about powers of attorney.

Protect Your Assets From Medicaid

Nursing home costs are a huge concern for families. Most health insurance plans and Medicare provide only limited coverage for nursing home patients. Without long-term care insurance, the only option is often to pay for yourself until your assets are depleted and you are able to apply for Medicaid. This can be a complicated process and we can help. Find additional info about Medicaid Planning. 

How do Guardianships Work in Clear Grove, PA 

If you become disabled or incapacitated without a power of attorney in place, then a guardian must be appointed by the court to care for you and manage your financial affairs. Upon appointment of a guardian, you lose certain legal rights to act on your own behalf, and the guardian will be empowered to act for you. It is possible to avoid this process with proper planning. If you have a loved one who is no longer able to manage important matters, we can help you through the guardianship process. See more about guardianship.
