Elder Law
Pleasants Law Firm has years of experience helping families prepare and execute their Estate Plans. This help can be particularly essential if your loved one can no longer manage his or her own affairs. As experienced elder law attorneys, we can provide a full range of services to help you and your loved one meet your goals and objectives, giving you the protection and peace of mind you deserve.
Our Elder Law Services Include:
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney (POA) allows an elderly person to appoint a trusted person to act as their agent for handling specific responsibilities. These responsibilities may fall under the healthcare realm with a POA for healthcare allowing the agent to make health care and medical decisions. Another option is a POA for finances that gives the agent the power to make financial and legal decisions on the person’s behalf.
Vulnerable Adult Petitions
Vulnerable adult petitions can help protect elderly individuals who may be victims of elder abuse. Filing such a petition offers temporary protection that can be extended if abuse is proven in court.
