In May 2011, Pro Law Team’s legal clinic offered a basic Last Will and Testament for husband and wife or domestic partners, together with a Durable Power of Attorney, a Health Surrogate appointment and Health Care Directive (living will) for $189.00. More than 100 new clients responded so we have decided to make the basic Last Will and Testament package a permanent part of our program.
Last Will and Testaments are essential for people with or without children, divorced individuals, married couples, singles, widows or widowers. Without a will, your property will be distributed according to State laws of descent and distribution.
A Health Care Directive, commonly referred to as a “Living Will”, permits a person to designate medical treatment desired or not wanted in the event of a terminal illness.
A Living Will takes effect only when a person can no longer express his or her own wishes.
While a power of attorney contains an authorization for one to act as the agent of the principal that terminates at some designated date or event, a Durable Power of Attorney becomes effective upon people becoming incompetent or unable to manage their own affairs. The durable power gives an agent the authority to act for and in place of an incompetent or incapacitated person.
Appointment of a Health Care Surrogate permits one to designate a person to make health care decisions during a period of incapacitation and to provide informed consent which is essential for proper medical treatment, surgical and diagnostic procedures.
