These documents are vitally important in the event you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself. A Health Care Directive is a legal document that communicates your health care wishes and allows you to name someone to make health care decisions for you when you cannot speak for yourself. A Power of Attorney allows you to choose someone to handle your finances and property and is effective immediately upon signing. You will prepare both of these documents, so you leave with these important legal plans in place. Leave class with two notarized documents, and give yourself and your loved ones peace of mind.
