In today's fast-paced and busy world, we strive to develop our careers, create stability and provide comfort for our families. While juggling all of these responsibilities, we try to find some free time to relax and enjoy our lives. In the midst of these important daily events, we often do not have time nor want to think about these life changing events, such as, what would happen if I suddenly became incapcitated and were unable to work? What would happen to my family if I were no longer around? What would happen to your children and who would care for them until they reached the age of majority?
In Pro Per DPS can assist you in creating stability for your family's future and provide peace of mind for yourself. We will gladly assist you in preparing your will and basic living trust. With these key estate planning documents you can designate your personal belongings and worldly posessions to your family or favorite charity with confidence. You can also appoint guardians to care for your children and/or to assist them to manage their money until they reach adulthood.
We can also assist you in preparing a power of attorney for medical care as well as for your financial needs. With a power of attorney for medical care, you can specify whether you consent to surgical procedures or other medical procedures. As well, you can direct your attorney-in-fact to seek a second medical opinion on your behalf should you be unable to make that request known yourself. The medical power of attorney allows you to make these important decisions before you are incapcitated and unable to make your desires known to your loved ones. You may also place a "Do Not Resuscitate" clause in your power of attorney if your desire is to decline feeding and hydration in the event of your incapcitation. In other words, you are able to make your desires known now while you are able rather than waiting until it is too late.
Financial power of attorneys will allow your loved ones to make crucial financial decisions on your behalf if a circumstance arises that makes you unable to do so. Such decisions include handling your banking transactions, selling or renting your real estate or even handling a legal matter in your place. You can elect to give your attorney-in-fact as much or as little power as you desire. The ultimate decision is up to you.
Additionally, In Pro Per DPS can assist you in handling your temporary or permanent guardianship needs for your minor child. We can also draft a Caregiver's Authorization in the event you are confronted with a situation where you will be temporarily out of the state, country or for whatever reason unable to care for your minor child(ren). In Pro Per has successfully handled uncontested guardianships of the minor's person and estate.
Estate planning documents prevent your family members from making financial and medical decisions during times that are already extremely stressful. They also provide you with the peace of mind that you deserve as you handle the day to day pressures of working and caring for your family. In Pro Per DPS's estate planning services range from $75 to $699, depending upon what service(s) you require.
