Prepare for the Future ∙ Take Control. Take Comfort.
There is no reason to be afraid of the future. The best thing to do is face the issues head-on, as soon as possible, and have solutions in place ahead of time. This is a challenging proposition for a lot of people, though, as the immediate concerns of day-to-day life and apprehension about the estate planning process prevent many people from calling a lawyer and creating their estate plans.
At Christmas Spano & Owen, P.A., we do everything we can to make it easy for our clients. With more than 55 combined years of legal experience, our Riverview advance directives attorneys work with each client individually, taking the time to understand each client's unique needs and objectives. We will help you draft will and trust documents that will comprise your entire estate plan, as well as advance directives that include:
- Power of Attorney (POA): Appoint an agent (called an attorney in fact) to handle your financial decision-making in the event that you become unable to handle these decisions on your own, and give clear direction for how these matters should be handled.
- Nomination of Guardians for Children: Establish a legal guardian to take care of your children if you become unable to care for them.
- Living Will/Designation of Health Care Surrogate: Specify in advance your wishes concerning end-of-life care with a Living Will. A Designation of Health Care Surrogate permits you to appoint a surrogate to communicate with medical providers regarding your care, authorize treatment, and apply for benefits in case you become unable to communicate those wishes in the future.
A major focus of our firm is to build long-term working relationships with our clients. We want to be your lawyers for life. We do this by maintaining communication and helping you through every stage of the legal process.
