With A Will, You Can Ensure Your Wishes Are Carried Out

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to have a will in place before your death. With the help of an experienced attorney, it does not have to be a difficult process, either. It’s simply a way of making sure your priorities and wishes are clearly laid out so your family knows what you want to happen when you die or are unable to speak for yourself.

At Thompson Family Law, P.A. in Fort Myers, Florida, we have considerable experience preparing wills and other documents for clients throughout Southwest Florida. To learn more about your options for protecting your family and making your wishes clearly known, call 239-243-9297 or toll free 888-550-6071 today.

Making Important Decisions For Your Future

As highlighted by tragic cases of families fighting over how to treat incapacitated relatives, it is extremely important to have a living will or healthcare directive in place in addition to your last will and testament. A living will clearly lays out your choices on when and how you want to be treated when you are in a vegetative state. This allows you to preserve the dignity that comes with making your own end-of-life choices. You can also appoint a health care proxy, someone you trust to make decisions about your health care when you are incapacitated.

Guardianships And Power Of Attorney

For business and financial matters, it is important to have a plan in place as well. For instance, you can appoint a guardian to make decisions for you when you are no longer in the right state of mind to do so. Also, you can give someone, often one of your children, power of attorney in order to manage your money and assets when you are gone.

Whether our firm has helped you resolve other family law matters before or this is your first time working with us, we look forward to working with you so you can make these important legal choices. Contact us today to speak with a lawyer.
