Helping You and Your Family Prepare for Life’s Uncertainties
Life is unpredictable. If you become unable to make important decisions regarding your health, finances, or personal affairs due to illness or injury, having an incapacity plan in place ensures that your wishes are respected.
At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, our experienced attorneys provide comprehensive incapacity planning services for individuals and families in Dallas. We help you take proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential legal and financial challenges.
What Is Incapacity Planning?
Incapacity planning involves creating legally binding documents that specify how your affairs should be managed if you become unable to make decisions on your own. This plan ensures that a trusted individual can handle your healthcare, finances, and personal matters according to your preferences.
Why Is Incapacity Planning Important?
Without an incapacity plan, your loved ones may face significant legal and financial difficulties, such as:
- Delays in accessing financial accounts.
- Difficulty making medical decisions on your behalf.
- Court intervention to appoint a legal guardian.
- Family disputes over your care and estate.
By planning ahead, you maintain control over your future and provide peace of mind for yourself and your family.
What Does an Incapacity Plan in Texas Include?
A well-structured incapacity plan in Dallas may include the following legal documents:
- Living Will – Specifies your medical care preferences, including life-sustaining treatments.
- HIPAA Release Document – Grants permission for designated individuals to access your medical information.
- Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPA) – Appoints a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf.
- Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) – Indicates whether you want life-saving interventions in critical situations.
- Financial Power of Attorney – Authorizes a designated individual to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated.
- Revocable Living Trust – Helps manage and distribute your assets according to your wishes.
When Should You Update Your Incapacity Plan?
Your incapacity plan should be reviewed and updated whenever major life changes occur, such as:
- Marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
- Moving to a new state.
- A new medical diagnosis or major health change.
- The passing of someone named in your plan.
Regular updates ensure that your plan remains legally valid and aligned with your current wishes.
