Pensacola Durable Power of Attorney Lawyers

The laws surrounding powers of attorney can be quite confusing. By executing a power of attorney, an individual can be assured that his or her medical and financial decisions will be taken care of by a trusted friend or family member in the event of incapacitation.

A durable power of attorney is a legal document which gives the person you choose the power to manage your assets and financial affairs while you are alive. The appointment may be for a fixed period and can be revoked by you at any time providing you still have the legal capacity to do so. A power of attorney ceases when you die. The executor named in your will then takes over the responsibilities of your estate.

A durable power of attorney enables you to have your financial affairs handled for you even if you become incapacitated. Most often, durable powers of attorney are created to deal with decisions involving management of property or other assets. If you don't specify that you want your power of attorney to be durable, it will automatically end if you later become incapacitated.

Florida Healthcare Surrogate Designation Lawyers

Planning ahead for potential health care issues is equally important as planning for a smooth disposition of your assets. While a healthcare surrogate designation and a living will are not the same thing, they are often drawn up at the same time. A healthcare surrogate designation is a document appointing someone else to consult with your physicians and to make decisions about your medical care if you are unable to do so.

If you are injured or incapacitated, medical care providers and doctors will turn to your health care surrogate for medical decisions and consent for treatment. It is also important to have a HIPPA release in conjunction with a healthcare surrogate designation. This will allow your agent access to your medical records so they may make informed decisions on your behalf.
