Power of attorney, living will / Advance Directive

Something everyone should have is a set of Powers of Attorney:  General Power of Attorney, Statutory Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Power of Attorney (aka, Living Will, Advance Directive). We are all going to find ourselves at a point when we need someone to help us make decisions about our health and finances when we are unable to make those decisions for ourselves. The Weeks Firm can draft powers of attorney that will enable your loved ones to take care of you affairs in the event you become unable to do so.  These documents allow you to designate the right person to carry out your wishes just as you've requested.  These documents are truly essential. Call today to get yours drawn up by The Weeks Firm.

Medicaid Qualification

When you find yourself in need of Medicaid, don't let anyone tell you that you don't qualify.  If you have a parent or spouse who needs long-term care in a nursing home, you can protect your assets and still get qualified for Medicaid.  Even if it's too late to protect all your assets, it may be possible to save more than you could imagine.  Don't let your children's inheritance go to the state when there are legal options that can preserve that legacy for the next generation of your family.

Wills & Trusts

If you need a will or a trust, The Weeks Firm can help. Whether your estate has a broad range of assets or only a handful, it is important that you have an estate plan.  The Weeks Firm can guide you through your options and provide you with the documents that will ensure your estate goes where you want it to go, not where the state sends it when there is no plan. Depending on your particular set of circumstances, you may want to use trusts to pass your assets on to your loved ones, and The Weeks Firm can draft a tailor-made trust and the appropriate deeds to protect your interests and those of your heirs.  Call today and let us show you how a plan can help you.

Probate

If you have a loved one who has died with a will, The Weeks Firm can help with the process of putting that estate through probate.  Call us to find out what options you have.

guardianships

Sometimes it is necessary to apply for a guardianship when a loved one has lost capacity to make decisions. When this happens, The Weeks Firm can help.
