Setting Up Advance Directives
What happens when a person becomes seriously ill and is no longer able to make important health care decisions on their own? There are two options. The first is that the family is left to guess, which can lead to a great deal of debate. The second is that the family can follow the instructions the person has left behind. These instructions come in the form of advance directives. At Reinheimer Law Office, we are committed to educating you about advance directives and can help you establish them for yourself or a loved one.

Advance directives, also known as medical directives, health care proxy or medical power of attorney, are designed to allow a person to put together a plan of action that addresses health care in the case of incapacity. They can address a wide variety of issues that are frequently encountered when a person enters a coma, becomes seriously ill and is no longer able to make decisions, and other similar situations. They can also address the critical issue of termination of life support.
Whether you are interested in developing advance directives as part of your own estate planning, or you are concerned about a loved one, we can help.
In addition to establishing advance directives, which address health care issues, we are able to assist with powers of attorney, which outline how financial matters are handled in the event of incapacity.
