has been about Death…
IncapacityWhen a person becomes unable to
manage his/her personal affairs for any reason (Alzheimer’s, Stroke, Mental Incapacity, etc.), legal guardianship
may be established.
Through court proceedings the Petitioner applies for, and may (or may not), be granted the legal authority to
handle the financial and personal affairs of the incapacitated person.
These court proceedings can be costly, time consuming, stressful, and as court
records are public information, they can be embarrassing to the family.
These documents legally identify who has been chosen and
entrusted to make medical and financial decisions if a person becomes incapacitated and is
unable to make those decisionsfor themselves.
The people chosen in these documents (usually a spouse or
child) may manage the affairs of an incapacitated person without the
involvement of the courts.

Living Wills
The term Living Will refers towhat many people commonly know
As the “Right-to-Die Clause”. If aperson’s life is being sustained solely by artificial means, this
document states whether or not that person desires to continue
with artificial life support.
Through the use of a Living Will, family members may carry out the
person’s desires withoutcourt intervention.
