The legal team at Duncan & Associates, PLLC provides a broad range of estate planning services. Estate planning is the process during your lifetime of anticipating and arranging for what happens when you become incapacitated or die. Commonly handled matters include preparation of a Will (a document that determines what happens to your assets and debts when you die), a Power of Attorney (a document that allows you to name others to act for you if you are unable to act), and a Designation of Patient Advocate for Health Care (a document that allows you to name someone to make health care decisions for you and to have access to records others normally cannot access because of HIPPA). Parents also routinely have Parental Powers of Attorney prepared to provide others with authority to care for their children if they have to be away from their children because of work, travel, or military service.
