Mansfield Living Will Lawyer

Midgley Law Associates protects your present and future interests by helping you create a personalized estate plan. We meet with clients to discuss their estate planning goals. We spend a substantial amount of time discussing various property interests to determine what estate planning tools will best meet their needs, including living trusts, long-term care plans, and simple or complex wills. Married and unmarried couples need documents drawn up to protect their assets and property.

Living wills and other estate planning tools include:

Healthcare Proxy

In Massachusetts, living wills are not authorized by statute. However, the preparation of a healthcare proxy documents one's wishes as to who should their health care decisions and complications that may occur in life.

Durable Power of Attorney

This is a very important estate-planning document. One of its uses is to designate a person to manage a client's affairs if they become incapable of signing legal documents or dealing with financial decisions. This may occur because of an accident at any age, an inability to care for oneself or mental frailty due to age or poor health. A power of attorney also avoids the expense of establishing guardianships or conservatorships. The durable power of attorney is a powerful tool used in estate planning and elder law.

Homestead Filing

The Homestead declaration is filed to protect a house against claims of creditors. It is also considered part of our asset protection practice.
