Incapacity Planning

It’s natural to associate incapacity with old age and related ailments, such as Alzheimer’s disease. And while it’s possible you could face incapacitation later in life, you never know what could happen in the here and now.

And that’s where incapacity planning comes into play.

Incapacity planning is exactly what it sounds like. It allows you to plan in advance for a situation in which you’re unable to make your own decisions, such as the result of a serious ailment or accident.

Here are some of the many questions to address in regards to incapacity planning:

  • Who do you want to make healthcare related decisions for you in the event of incapacitation?
  • Who do you want to make financial decisions for you in the event of incapacitation?
  • Have you shared your wishes with this person, such as through the creation of a power of attorney and living will?
  • Who will you trust to make personal decisions on your behalf during your incapacity?
  • What steps can you take to save your loved ones time and money in the event of an incapacity?

If you’ve yet to create an incapacity plan, there’s a good chance you don’t know the answers to these questions. And even if you do, you haven’t taken the steps necessary to protect yourself and your legal rights.

Now that you understand the benefits of incapacity planning, it’s time to make key decisions regarding your future. It’s never fun to think about, but once you have a plan in place it’ll be easier for you and your loved ones to rest at night. At The Edwards Law Firm, P.A., we take great pride in helping people from the Jacksonville, Florida area reach their incapacity planning goals. Contact us online or via phone for more information on our services and how we can help.
