Mildred V. Palmer, Founding Partner at Navigant Law Group, joins Jon Hansen on Let’s Get Legal to discuss estate planning.

Planning for the future is a crucial aspect of responsible living. Establishing a Health Care Power of Attorney & Living Will can provide peace of mind for emergencies.

You can choose whether it becomes effective immediately when you sign the document or “springs into power” when you are deemed incapacitated. Just as important is keeping your POA up to date.

Consult an attorney. Work with an estate planning attorney to ensure your POA document is legally valid and tailored to your specific needs and state laws. Communicate with your chosen agent.
