Over
90% of Americans do not have documents necessary to express their last
wishes. Consequently, this leaves those personal decisions in the
hands of their relatives, and government officials who they have never
met. While thinking about our last days may be uncomfortable, it is
necessary to do so in order to relieve our loved ones of the burden of
trying to make those decisions for us.
There are many documents that will allow
us to make decisions for ourselves and remove this burden from our
friends and loved ones.
A
Texas Living Will and a Texas Medical Power of Attorney can avoid a
"Terry Schiavo" situation and allows you to control your medical
decisions.
A
Will allows us to dispose of our property, in accordance with our
wishes, at the time of our passing on from this life.
A
Texas General Durable Power of Attorney can be used to allow a trusted
person to manage our affairs should we become disabled.
Finally, a Texas Declaration of Guardian allows us to choose who will
(and/or who will not!) be appointed as our Guardian, should that need
arise in the future.
We at
the Manning Firm have extensive experience in preparing these documents
for clients and even our own family. Call today to schedule a free
consultation.
