What Is Incapacity Planning?
Incapacity planning involves preparing legal documents and arrangements that give someone you trust the ability to manage your affairs should you lose the mental or physical ability to do so. It includes preparing for decisions regarding your health, finances, and personal matters, ensuring that someone can step in on your behalf when needed.
Why Is Incapacity Planning Important?
Without a proper incapacity plan in place, you risk leaving your family with no clear way to manage your personal, health, and financial matters. The absence of a plan may force your loved ones to go through a lengthy and potentially costly court process to gain the legal authority to act on your behalf. An incapacity plan offers peace of mind, both for you and your family.
What Does an Incapacity Plan in Texas Include?
In Texas, an incapacity plan typically includes several essential documents designed to protect your well-being and assets. These may include:
- Living Will – Specifies your desires regarding medical treatment and care if you become incapacitated.
- HIPAA Release – Grants medical professionals permission to share your health information with those you designate.
- Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPA) – Designates someone to make medical decisions for you if you’re unable to do so.
- Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) – Instructs healthcare providers not to perform life-saving procedures in certain situations.
- Financial Power of Attorney – Allows someone to handle your finances on your behalf when you’re unable to.
- Revocable Living Trust – Ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death.
Should You Update Your Incapacity Plan?
Life changes such as marriage, the birth of a child, a move to a new state, or even the passing of a loved one can all affect your incapacity plan. You should revisit and update your incapacity plan whenever there are significant changes to your life or family situation to ensure it remains relevant to your current needs and wishes.
