Powers of Attorney and Guardianships
It is important to know that if you are ever physically or mentally incapable of making important decisions about your health or your finances, someone you trust can step in to make sure your wishes are known. There are two ways to accomplish this, and each have their own appropriate time and place.
Powers of attorney allows you to choose now who you want to make decisions for you in the event you are unable to, such as the decision to enter assisted living or discontinue artificial life-saving methods. However, if this is not in place when you become incapacitated, a guardianship is the only option. A guardianship must be obtained through the courts since you will be unable to personally make the decision.
