Situations in Which a Lawyer Should Help with a Living Will

Worried About Family Disagreements

When it comes to healthcare, in particular, family emotions can flare. What one person said he or she is willing to do to follow your wishes may change in an emergency. If you are worried about a close family member fighting your medical wishes, consulting a lawyer to check your healthcare directive is a good idea.

You’re a Frequent Traveler

Medical documents are often only valid in the state they are executed in. If you spend a lot of your time in a neighboring state for work or other reasons, you may want to consult a lawyer to execute a legal document that bears the right language for multiple states.

You Need More than Just a Living Will

If you have more assets, you may want to consider other options such as trusts and other documents that can help your heirs to avoid lengthy probate issues. A capable estate planning lawyer can help you to see the best way to protect your assets and help your family in their time of loss.
