At KWG Family Law and Mediation, led by the esteemed Kristen Goss, we offer a holistic approach to estate planning that ensures every aspect of your legal needs is addressed. Our services are meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with your broader life plans, including estate taxation strategies and asset management during life or in the event of disability. We focus on crafting essential documents such as Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Living Wills, and Wills/Trusts to secure your future comprehensively.
Powers of Attorney
This critical document enables a designated individual to act on your behalf, making it an indispensable tool for those who are often unavailable or wish to ensure continuity in their financial and business affairs. It’s also a safeguard, providing essential legal authority in case of incapacitation.
Health Care Proxies
A Health Care Proxy allows you to appoint a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This document ensures that your medical preferences are respected, including details about organ and tissue donation, though a Living Will is recommended for a complete medical directive.
Living Wills
Our Living Wills provide a clear directive regarding your healthcare preferences in various potential scenarios, offering peace of mind and ensuring that your medical care aligns with your wishes.
