The spread of COVID has caused a variety of traumatic legal issues for individuals. One common problem is when a loved one becomes terribly sick, sometimes leading to incapacitation. When someone is incapacitated, doctors or nurses are often asking family members if the sick patient has a durable power of attorney for health care in place designating an individual that can make difficult decisions for him or her. Unfortunately, by the time incapacitation occurs, it is too late to execute a power of attorney.

Having a durable power of attorney for healthcare in place can often eliminate the need to file for guardianship, which is a far more costly procedure that may take weeks.

A power of attorney is a quick, extremely beneficial, and responsible way to solve this problem. This is true even for the young and healthy. Contact a law office and ask about getting a power of attorney in place for yourself or a loved one. Any of our attorneys at Cleaveland, Macoubrie, and Cox would be happy to assist you.
