Disability planning

Disability planning, within the context of Elder Law, involves preparing for potential future disabilities that may affect an individual’s ability to manage their affairs. It includes creating legal documents, such as powers of attorney and healthcare proxies, which designate trusted individuals to make financial and medical decisions on one's behalf if they become incapacitated. This planning ensures that personal wishes are honored and that necessary care is provided without delay, ultimately safeguarding one’s rights and assets during challenging times. It is an essential part of ensuring dignity and continuity of care as one ages.
