Wills, Powers of Attorney, Probate, Guardianship and Conservatorships – Gallatin and Hendersonville, Tennessee
We all have different kinds of insurance: auto, home, and medical, which we may or may not ever need. However, though we don’t know when, all of us will die, and there will be an estate of some kind that must be passed on to the next generation.
While these are unpleasant things to think about, dealing with them now is truly an act of love. Don’t make your family deal with emotional loss and the legal process the same time.
Ken can help you prepare the following documents:
- Wills
- Financial Powers of Attorney
- Health Care Powers of Attorney
- Living Wills
- HIPAA authorizations
- Hospital Visitation forms
- Guardianships
- Conservatorships
- Trusts for children and special needs
While many people may go online to get the form to prepare a will, there are special requirements in order to make it recognized by the courts. In addition, many do not know of or appreciate the importance of the other documents, especially powers of attorney. Bankers and other financial institutions, doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and hospice centers will either require powers of attorney, or for you to obtain a conservatorship in order to deal with your family members who can’t take care of themselves. It is important to obtain these documents in a timely manner to avoid dealing with a family member who has dementia or is otherwise incompetent to prepare them. Those with the greatest need of these documents include couples with young children, multi-generational families, blended families, and persons who are looking toward the end of their time. Call Ken Phillips at 461-7174 for your free consultation.
