Protect Your Future with Incapacity Planning in Montgomery County
Life can change unexpectedly, and a sudden illness or accident could leave you unable to make important decisions. Without a legal incapacity plan, your loved ones may struggle to handle your financial and medical affairs.
At The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, we provide expert incapacity planning services for individuals and families in Montgomery County, ensuring that your wishes are respected and your affairs are managed properly.
What Is Incapacity Planning?
Incapacity planning involves preparing legal documents that grant trusted individuals the authority to make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Without these documents, your family may have to go through costly and time-consuming court proceedings to gain decision-making power.
Essential Incapacity Planning Documents
A complete incapacity plan in Montgomery County should include:
- Medical Power of Attorney – Designates a trusted person to make healthcare decisions for you.
- Financial Power of Attorney – Grants authority to manage your finances and assets.
- Living Will – Outlines your medical treatment preferences in critical situations.
- HIPAA Authorization – Allows designated individuals to access your medical records.
- Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order – Specifies your preferences regarding life-saving measures.
- Revocable Living Trust – Ensures seamless asset management if you become incapacitated.
Why Is Incapacity Planning Important?
Failing to plan for incapacity could result in:
- Legal difficulties when family members attempt to make medical or financial decisions.
- Delays in accessing financial accounts, paying bills, or managing property.
- Disputes among family members regarding decision-making authority.
- Expensive and time-consuming guardianship proceedings.
A legally binding incapacity plan prevents these issues and provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
When Should You Update Your Incapacity Plan?
You should review and update your incapacity plan if:
- You experience a major life change (marriage, divorce, children).
- Your chosen representatives are no longer available.
- Your financial situation significantly changes.
- You relocate to another state.
