West Palm Beach Estate Planning Lawyer

Estate planning is not just for planning how your assets will be distributed and how to protect your family in the future. There is much more to think about, especially in light of the Terri Schiavo case that transpired over the course of fifteen years. If there is no documentation of your wishes or if there is no documentation authorizing someone else to make those important decisions, doctors have no choice but to follow the hospitals procedures in the event that you become incapacitated and incapable of making medical care decisions on your own.

Contact attorney Richard W. Springer to discuss your estate planning options to plan for incapacity.

The Law Offices of Richard W. Springer, P.A. has provided estate planning advice and guidance for over 30 years to clients in the West Palm Beach area. Mr. Springer listens to clients and uses his skills to draft the documentation that reflects his client's needs and wishes. Our law firm drafts all the necessary documents or forms used for advanced health care directives and powers of attorney:

Power of attorney: A power of attorney is someone who you appoint to make decisions on your behalf based upon the specific powers you grant them. In most situations, a power of attorney is used to allow someone to act on your behalf for financial, legal or health care purposes. We can assist you with establishing a durable or health care power of attorney.
Living will: A living will is a type of advanced directive that allows you to tell others what your wishes are regarding end of life decisions. We assist clients in fully documenting their choices regarding life-sustaining care, such as feeding tubes, resuscitation, respirators and other life-sustaining care.
Health care surrogate: A health care surrogate is someone who you appoint now to make decisions in the future, if you ever become incapacitated. Your appointed health care surrogate would make decisions regarding the type of health care he or she believes you would have wanted if you were capable of communicating your wishes.
Guardianship: When a person is proved to be incapacitated or to lack capacity to make decisions, the court may appoint a guardian to make those decisions. Therefore, if you become incapacitated and do not have some form of power of attorney or health care surrogate, a guardianship may be necessary.
