We all know it’s important to designate an attorney for personal care for times when we can’t communicate medical care decisions for ourselves. However, most planning doesn’t go beyond making such a designation. Our thinking is limited to “end of life” decisions.
But what about serious illnesses that may not necessarily be terminal? What about ensuring that the designated attorney for personal care actually understands both the importance of the role they are to play, the values of the person they are representing and what it means to act in the grantor’s best interests?
Join Dr. Daren Heyland, Ian M. Hull and Kimberly Whaley as they discuss Dr. Heyland’s “Plan Well Guide” and how lawyers can support or advise their clients on the importance of planning for serious illness, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
