Medical Emergency and Urgent Estate Planning

Simply put, estate planning is often in the back of our minds and delayed. Medical treatment may not be handled in a suitable manner to your wishes if you face an unexpected medical emergency, such as a car accident, aggressive cancer, stroke, or upcoming surgery. An estate plan will protect your family and ensure your wishes are carried out in the manner you prescribe.

Medical emergencies can happen at any time and at any place. We often receive calls from individuals expressing a need to have an estate plan drafted quickly, often by the next day. Expedient estate planning can be difficult, but it is not impossible. Often, we will meet with a client after hours at their location to work on their urgent estate plan.

If you are facing a medical emergency, crisis situation or otherwise need to have an estate plan implemented quickly, feel free to give us a call or send us an e-mail at any time.
