Planning for Incapacity – FAQ

Is it really necessary to plan for incapacity?

You do not have to plan for incapacity, but it is probably in your and your family’s best interest to do so. If you have not planned for the unexpected, your spouse or children may be faced with the task, as well as the costs of time and money, of going to court to have a guardian or conservator appointed.

You should express your desires for financial and health care decisions in writing prior to some unexpected event happening. Be powerful enough to control what will happen with your own life. You can appoint someone to step in and act on your behalf, so that these issues must be addressed by the court system.
