Naming the People Who Will Represent Your Interests
No one wants to consider the moments in our life where we might be incapable of making decisions for ourselves, but should the need ever arise, you don't want to be left without a legally protected loved one working on your behalf.
Often referred to as durable or financial powers of attorney, along with advance healthcare directives, this can be an important tool to allow you to protect your wishes and desires in the future. Allowing you to name an individual who will make decisions about your healthcare and property in the event that you are unable to make those decisions yourself, the law office of Kenneth Kirk, Attorney can help you create a document to name an individual of your choosing to have powers of attorney for you.
