POWERS OF ATTORNEY

 

Medical Powers of Attorney:

Medical powers of attorney are legal documents which create a durable power of attorney for health care.  The person creating the durable power of attorney for health care (“Principal”), designates a person to act as his or her attorney-in-fact (“Health Care Agent”) for the purpose of giving the health care agent power to carry out the Principal’s desire with respect to health care decisions (i.e., decisions which include consent, refusal of consent or withdrawal of consent to any care, treatment, service or procedure to maintain, diagnose or treat a physical or mental condition).  The Principal’s desires with respect to health care are contained within the document under a statement of desires, and the Health Care Agent has a duty to act consistent with the Principal’s statement of desires. 

 

We at the Nevada Estate Planning and Probate Center can prepare valid Powers of Attorney for Health Care Decisions under Nevada law which will all allow the Principal to express and have carried out his or her health care desires.

 

 

Durable Powers of Attorney:

Durable powers of attorney are a legal documents by which the person creating the durable power of attorney (“Principal”) appoints another as his attorney-in-fact (“Agent”) and confers upon him or her the authority to make decisions concerning the Principal’s property (including the Principal’s money), whether or not the Principal is able to act for himself or herself.  The designated agent has a duty to act consistent with the Principal’s desires as stated in the document. 

 

We at the Nevada Estate Planning and Probate Center can prepare valid Durable Powers of Attorney under Nevada law which allow your finances to be properly managed in the event you as the Principal are unable or incapable of making financial decisions on your own.
