What Does An Elderly Care Planning Attorney Do?
At Law Offices of Gerald L. Kane, attorney Kane is dedicated to protecting and caring for seniors through compassionate and effective legal representation. Our attorney focuses on providing clarity on elderly care planning options, offering accurate answers and experienced guidance on Elder Law matters, including:
- Conservatorships
- Advance directives
- Powers of attorney
In California, families may need to secure a conservatorship for adults who are unable to care for themselves. Conservatorships could involve overseeing just the person’s property or all aspects of their life. A Durable Power of Attorney gives someone a lot of control over the individual’s property and personal matters. However, they can’t make decisions that override the person’s own. Finally, advance directives are documents that inform the family of the person’s healthcare wishes in the event they are unable to make decisions themselves. These might include a Directive to Physicians or a living will.
