Plan Ahead with a Durable Power of Attorney Lawyers

Serving clients throughout Maryland.

Although considering your end-of-life plan may be painful, a durable power of attorney is an essential aspect of your estate plan if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. A power of attorney lawyer is a legal document that allows you to grant a person of your choosing the authority to act on your behalf in financial matters. Clients in Glen Burnie and throughout Maryland choose us at Chesapeake Wills and Trusts to draft their durable power of attorney because:

• Our durable power of attorney lawyers have the experience to craft your document specifically to your needs.
• We take the time necessary to ensure that the description of powers you grant to your agent is limited to those essential to match your expectations.
• As elder law attorneys, we include powers within the power of attorney that are not included in a regular power of attorney document. These powers allow your family to implement an asset protection strategy if you ever need to enter a nursing home. Many lawyers simply do not include these powers in their durable power of attorneys, which could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars of your hard earned life savings!
• Our firm will always treat you as a valued client.
