Wills and Powers of Attorney For Young Adults

Posted on December 16 2020 by Todd Spivak and Rebecca Canterbury

It’s never too early to start thinking about drafting your Last Will and Testament and Powers of Attorney.

Clearly stating health care wishes and appointing a person to direct them are important at every age because accidents happen.

The trauma of an accident is exacerbated when sensitive health care decisions must be made based on assumptions, leaving family members, doctors, or even judges guessing about the patient’s values.

If you are healthy and young, you may still want to get certain wishes down in writing for just-in-case situations. For many parents, this means determining who will care for their children in the event of an emergency or crisis.
