Legal Toolkit (Wills, Personal Directives, Enduring Power of Attorney)
Planning for disability or death is never pleasant. However, it is an important part of identifying what you want done when something like this happens to you and helping those around you carry out your wishes. An enduring power of attorney, a personal directive, and a will are basic to building your plan. With them you can set out respectively:
· Who will handle your financial affairs and how, if you become mentally incompetent.
· If you become mentally incompetent, who will handle your medical and other personal life decisions and the kinds of choices they can make for you.
· How you want your estate to be dealt with at your death.
