The Role of Powers of Attorney in Probate Administration ​

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a critical legal document that grants a trusted individual the authority to manage financial or medical decisions on someone’s behalf. If a person becomes incapacitated before passing, a properly executed POA can prevent delays and legal challenges during probate.

Types of Powers of Attorney:

  • Financial Power of Attorney – Allows a designated agent to handle financial matters such as bank accounts, investments, and property transactions.
  • Medical Power of Attorney – Gives a trusted individual the right to make healthcare decisions if the person is unable to do so.

If a person passes away without a valid POA in place, their estate may face delays, contested claims, and unnecessary legal fees. At Kravets Law Group, we help clients draft and execute legally sound Powers of Attorney to protect their interests and ensure that probate proceedings move forward smoothly

Health Care Directives: Protecting Your Medical Wishes ​

A Health Care Directive, also known as an Advance Directive, ensures that an individual’s medical preferences are respected in the event of incapacity or serious illness. This document provides clear instructions for medical treatment, end-of-life care, and decision-making authority.

Key Elements of a Health Care Directive:

  • Living Will – Specifies medical treatments that should or should not be performed.
  • Designation of a Health Care Proxy – Appoints a trusted individual to make medical decisions on one’s behalf.
  • Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders – Provides instructions on whether life-saving measures should be taken in critical situations.

Having a legally valid Health Care Directive helps reduce uncertainty and family conflicts by ensuring that medical care aligns with the individual’s wishes. It also prevents court intervention in the event of incapacitation. Our attorneys guide clients through the process of creating and implementing these directives, ensuring they are properly documented and legally enforceable.
