Incapacity and Elderly Care: Enduring Powers of Attorney
At MKB Law our Private Client & Wealth Management Team can guide you through the process of planning for potential incapacity or guide your family when those plans need to be acted upon.
It is well documented that we are an aging population as health care advances extend life expectancy. Consequently, issues affecting the elderly are becoming more prevalent which gives rise to more planning opportunities to make things easier for your family if you begin to lose capacity at any time.
Areas of Focus:
- Creation of Enduring Powers of Attorney
- Registration of Enduring Powers of Attorney
- Applications to the Office of Care and Protection (Patients Section) for Controllership where no Enduring Power of Attorney is in place
- Objections to the registration of an Enduring Power of Attorney or to an application for Controllership
- Living Wills and Advanced Directives
