Golden Years Planning
Behrend & Ernsberger, PC - Attorneys at Law, Pittsburgh, PA
As we age, there are several important legal matters that should be addressed, and sooner is better than later
Living Wills were developed in recent times to help make advance decisions regarding end of life medical care and assistance. The purpose of a Living Will form is to give your doctors and care givers your personal directions on how you want to be cared for in the case of certain end of life circumstances.
A Living Will goes into effect when there is no hope for your recovery from an illness or injury. With a Living Will, you can stipulate what you want the doctors to do if you are in a vegetative state.
GOLDEN YEARS PLANNING: THE LEGAL NECESSITIES
“Elder law” refers to a variety of topics that we must be concerned with for future planning. Wills, trusts, living wills, estate planning, Medicaid planning, powers of attorney, guardianships, social security, and veteran’s benefits are just some of the components of the practice of elder law.
You will need legal advice in several of these matters. Don’t be swayed by advertisements for cheap forms online.
Any mistake in a document like a will can cause the entire will to be invalid, and you will have no say in the distribution of your estate. A mistake in drafting a living will may invalidate the document, thus leaving your voice unheard.
