What Is Your Estate Planning Need?
As a St. Augustine will attorney, Beth Terry provides basic estate planning services for people throughout northeast Florida. Additionally, as a family law attorney, she handles prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These agreements can impact estate planning documents and directives.
Our law firm can assist with the following:
- Last will and testament: This is a legal, binding document that memorializes your wishes for the disposition of your property and estate in the event of your death. Without a proper will, state law governs the disposition of your estate and who will inherit from you. Attorney Terry is knowledgeable in this area, and will provide you with advice on the various aspects of your estate and wishes for inheritance.
- Power of attorney: This is a legal, binding document that appoints another person as your agent to conduct certain business transactions on your behalf. The power of attorney can include only certain transactions or can include all. It can also be limited to a certain period of time. We can prepare the appropriate document to fit your particular needs.
- Living will: This is a legal, binding document that memorializes your wishes regarding the continuation of life-prolonging procedures when you are in a persistent, incapacitated medical condition. Your physicians and family members must honor the wishes outlined in your living will.
- Health Care Surrogate: This is a legal, binding document that designates another person to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated. Doctors will honor this document and your health care surrogate's decisions. Also, the health care surrogate is bound by and must honor your living will declarations.
