guardianship and conservatorship
When there was no advanced plan or there is a sudden and unexpected incapacity, it may be necessary to see a guardianship or conservatorship so a family member, friend, or caregiver can act for the person who is incapacitated (the Ward). A guardianship is the removal all legal rights to make important life and care decisions from the Ward. A guardianship extremely intrusive and should be a last resort for care and decision making support of a Ward. A conservatorship allows for the protection and management of money that is property of the incapacitate person. Schedule a consultation now.
DURABLE power of attorney
A power of attorney document appoints another person to make decisions on your behalf. Power of attorney documents can be durable, meaning they will withstand your incapacity. Also a power of attorney can be springing where it only takes effect if and when you become incapacitated, or limited where your agent is only able to act in certain specific instances.

power of attorney for healthcare
A durable power of attorney for healthcare allows you to appoint another trusted person, often a spouse or other close relative or friend, to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated or otherwise unable to act on your own; this person is known as your healthcare proxy. Do not let your healthcare decisions be left us to a doctor or healthcare professional that you do not know and do not know your wishes. Let Nappa Law LLC help you appoint a healthcare proxy today.
living will

elder abuse
Our aging population is one that is most vulnerable to predatory behavior. Often people become victims of financial abuse like Social Security Fraud or can even get taken advantage of by their financial power of attorney or strangers. Elders could be coerced to change their estate plan, gift their assets to strangers or fall victim to numerous scams. Beyond financial abuse, elders could be victims of neglect or physical abuse. If you think someone you love has been a victim of elder abuse do not hesitate to contact Nappa Law LLC today.
