Power of Attorney for Financial Matters and Health Care: Life is unpredictable, and it’s important to plan for scenarios where you might not be able to make decisions for yourself. A power of attorney for financial matters allows you to choose someone you trust to manage your finances if you become unable to. This can include paying bills, managing investments, or making other important financial decisions on your behalf.

Similarly, a power of attorney for health care enables you to designate a person to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate your wishes. This document ensures that your healthcare preferences are respected and carried out, providing peace of mind to both you and your loved ones. At Geer Law, we work with clients to create both financial and healthcare powers of attorney that reflect their wishes and ensure their interests are protected.

Living Wills: A living will is a critical document that outlines your wishes regarding medical treatment in situations where you are unable to communicate. This can include decisions about life-sustaining treatments, such as resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, and other end-of-life care options. By having a living will in place, you provide clarity to your family and healthcare providers, reducing the burden on your loved ones during difficult times. We will work with you to create a living will that aligns with your personal values and medical preferences.

Trusts and Special Needs Trusts: Trusts are a powerful tool in estate planning, allowing for greater control over the distribution of your assets, potential tax benefits, and protection of your family’s financial future. At Geer Law, we help clients establish trusts tailored to their unique needs, including changeable and permanent trusts, which provide flexibility and peace of mind.

For families with special needs children or relatives, a special needs trust is an essential part of an estate plan. This type of trust ensures that a loved one with special needs is financially supported without affecting their eligibility for government assistance programs. Geer Law has experience in crafting special needs trusts that provide long-term security and protection, allowing you to care for your loved ones even after you are gone.
