INCAPACITY PLANNING
Don’t Leave Loved Ones Scrambling If You Become Incapacitated in Florida
Incapacity planning in Florida is just as important, if not more important, than death planning. If you have a stroke or are in a severe car accident, you may not be able to take care of your affairs for a matter of months or years.
Who is going to pay the mortgage? Who is going to make medical decisions for you? Incapacity planning in Duval County, Florida, is designed to accomplish answers to these types of questions. There are legal strategies that give you control over your life even when you are incapacitated. Our experienced Florida attorneys consider an incapacity plan as part of the basic Florida estate plan that everyone should have.
UNDERSTANDING INCAPACITY PLANNING in Jacksonville, Florida
Incapacity can result from either physical or cognitive disabilities that are severe enough to seriously impact your ability to make your own decisions or fulfill your basic day-to-day needs. Incapacity planning helps ensure responsible decisions are made on your behalf by the person you identify ahead of time. This planning is typically done using a valid Florida power of attorney and a medical directive, though each person’s situation will be unique and may require additional legal tools.
When incapacitated, the person or people you designate will be able to make all legal and medical decisions on your behalf. These decisions can include caring for you by using your money to pay bills, buying groceries, and handling other financial matters such as selling real estate or even gifting assets to children. Of course, they will also need to make critical medical decisions, such as what type of palliative care you want.
