Healthcare Law

Let’s be clear: The health care law is confusing. I know you have questions. I am here with the answers. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a massive piece of legislation that will unfold over the next ten years. Its complex provisions have already proven to be difficult to interpret. However, one thing is already clear you must be prepared to deal with a series of new tax and regulatory requirements. I have 20 years experience in the health care field.   Allow me to serve as your primary resource for understanding how the government’s implementation of the healthcare law  impacts you.

Power Of Attorney

Before you or a loved one signs any power of attorney documents, be sure to consult with me concerning all applicable laws and regulations. The laws for creating a power of attorney vary from state to state, but there are certain general guidelines to be followed. There are multiple types of decisions that the attorney-in-fact can be given the power to make, including the power to:

• Make financial decisions
• Make gifts of money
• Make health care decisions, including the ability to consent to giving, withholding, or stopping medical treatments, services, or diagnostic procedures. (Note: your loved one can also make a separate “health care power of attorney” to give only this power to an individual.)
• Recommend a guardian

Taking the time to make these documents is well worth the effort it will take to have them in place.

Wills

Wills are legal documents created during your lifetime that do not become effective until death. The purpose of a will is to designate who you want to inherit your property and assets after you are deceased. State laws differ as to will requirements. It is imperative that the document be professionally prepared and ready to execute. Consult with me to plan for your estate and to have your final affairs in order.
