As a disabled person, one might become incompetent to make decisions regarding their personal and financial interests. In cases where an individual lacks the capacity to make such decisions, it is necessary for someone to have the legal authority to do that on their behalf. This means that the person who can make decisions on behalf of the disabled person should have advanced legal access to the individual’s wishes regarding the medical and personal care they would wish. In case a person becomes disabled, there are times when there is no prior legal appointment and they have no one to make decisions on their behalf. In such circumstances, the family of the incapacitated person has to file a petition in court to appoint a guardian. Unfortunately, this court-appointed decision maker lacks the ability to know or understand the wishes or directives of the incapacitated person. Applying for guardianship can be complex and emotionally draining for family members, particularly after their loved one has passed away. Good news, the stress can be alleviated from the shoulder of the family by hiring a qualified attorney who is good at preplanning.
