A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants another person the authority to act on your behalf in personal, legal and financial matters. In the event that you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself, a designated attorney-in-fact can manage your affairs and financial matters.
The appointment of a medical treatment decision maker (MTDM) is a legal document that appoints someone to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you are unable to make them for yourself.
It is important to work with an experienced lawyer when creating a POA or MTDM, to ensure that the documents are properly executed, and that the person appointed is aware of their responsibilities and obligations.
Having a well-drafted POA or MTDM can provide individuals with peace of mind and ensure that their wishes are carried out if they become unable to make decisions for themselves. It is important to periodically review and update these documents to ensure that they align with your current wishes, and that the appointed person is still appropriate for the role.

Our lawyers can provide you with the legal guidance and support necessary to make informed decisions about your future and ensure that your wishes are carried out.
