Connecticut Power of Attorney Lawyers
Have you considered what Connecticut power of attorney lawyers can do for you? Now may be the time to call The Prue Law Group, P.C., a leading eastern CT law firm for matters concerning estate planning. A power of attorney is part of that plan. We believe it is important to understand what a power of attorney is and how it benefits you and/ or your business. The fact is that illness, injury, old age, and situations unexpectedly change our lives. A power of attorney is a legal document that lets you name someone you trust to act on your behalf when you are unable. We believe it is important to get your affairs in order, no matter what age you may be.

Becoming mentally incapacitated would render you unable to make important choices for yourself. With Covid-19 up front and center in our lives, many of us have changed our daily routines. With travel and social restrictions, going to the bank or conducting business has also changed. Some people wish to avoid social interactions completely. Many people, particularly the elderly, are thinking seriously about their personal medical directives. An injury, accident, or stroke could render you unable to pay your bills or go to your bank. At Prue Law Group, we believe it is important to prepare for sudden illness or similar scenarios. It is important to start discussing your personal plans with your spouse, a friend, or a family member.

Changes in CT’s Power of Attorney and Living Will, and Why You Need to Change them ASAP!

If you live in the State of CT, then you need to be aware of a very important change made in October 2016!

For the past thirty plus years, the State of Connecticut had one specific form for both Power of Attorney and Living Will. However, in October 2016, these forms changed! Documents signed before October 2016 will no longer be honored! The most important change in the Power of Attorney is that you can no longer designate someone to make medical decisions for you.

The State of Connecticut has completely changed how you designate someone to make your medical decisions. Now, you must specify Health Care Agent in a Living Will. Previously, Living Wills covered only terminal medical decisions. Now, they cover both terminal and day-to-day medical decisions. By updating your Living Will, you can designate a Health Care Agent that will be honored, due to the changes made to the Power of Attorney.

It is of the utmost importance to you that these documents are updated in order to meet the State of Connecticut’s current format for designating Health Care Agents. At this time, it would be a good idea to review your full estate plan as well. If you don’t already have a Power of Attorney or Living Will, you should consider creating one. Keep in mind, you will not be able to legally designate a Health Care Agent for day-to-day or terminal medical decisions without one!

If you want to create a Living Will or Power of Attorney, you can contact The Prue Law Group, P.C. at (860) 423-9231 to make an appointment with our team.
