Many people think estate planning, and in particular healthcare directives and powers of attorney, are needs they will take care of when they reach a more advanced age. As easy as it may be to put off establishing these documents, taking care of things sooner rather than later may be a choice you're glad to have made.

Establishing healthcare directives

Healthcare directives are documents that express your healthcare wishes for a time when you may be incapacitated and unable to express them for yourself. The most common healthcare directives are living wills and power of attorney for healthcare.

A living will allows a person of your choosing to sign documents regarding prolonging your life in a terminal situation. A healthcare power of attorney permits you to appoint a trusted friend or relative to make healthcare choices for you if you are unable to do so for yourself.

Appointing Powers Of Attorney

Beyond a healthcare power of attorney, you may choose to establish a durable power of attorney. With this document, you appoint a person of your choosing to handle your financial transactions if you should become unable to do so yourself.

Why should you choose to put a healthcare directive or power of attorney in place?

Establishing a healthcare directive or power of attorney at a point when you are fully competent can offer both you and your family peace of mind for the future. Your needs will be provided for and your wishes followed without those close to you having to consider a guardianship or conservatorship.
