Wills, Power of Attorney

Marlton lawyer Paul Ferrell Jr. provides legal assistance pertaining to testamentary wills, living wills and power of attorney. Planning ahead is an important way to insure that your estate is protected and cared for according to your desires. In order to avoid having personal assets becoming the property of the state upon one's death, and to assure that assets are received and enjoyed by the individuals and charities of one's choosing, it is very important to have a properly drafted and executed testamentary will. Legal assistance provided by an experienced attorney will assist you in obtaining a properly drafted and executed testamentary will. A living will allows individuals to convey wishes regarding medical treatment. This advanced directive provides guidance for family members and most importantly healthcare providers, and even a court of law, when they are forced to make decisions concerning life impacting medical treatment or end-of-life options in instances in which a patient may not be able to communicate his or her intent. The properly drafted and executed living will contains specific directions on the course of action you would or would not take if you are in a terminal condition, a persistent vegetative state, or in a permanent coma. A power of attorney document gives another party the legal ability to act upon your behalf in order to manage your financial and legal affairs. This power of attorney may be very broad to include complete control over finances and property, or it may be limited to a specific task and time frame. A legal power of attorney is crucial to have when planning for future incapacity or when planning extended absences from home.
