Wills & Trusts

Attorney Carmen Ramirez can help guide you to the type of document makes sense for your life and your family. Each type of instrument: a Will, a Trust, or a Grant Deed can help achieve your estate planning goals. As a seasoned professional and experienced attorney, you can trust Carmen Ramirez to help advise you the pros and cons of each instrument and then make a recommendation as to what document would work best for your estate planning goals.

Advanced Healthcare Directives

An Advance Healthcare Directive is a document in which a Principal (you) communicate your desires related to your medical care in the event you become incapacitated. Your written instructions will also allow you to designate a person called your "Agent" who will speak as you the Principal, wanted. The Agent is acting on your behalf, instead of doing what the Agent wants for you.
An Advanced Health Care Directive also allows your family to avoid conflicting instructions to your doctor at a time when emotions are already high.
Finally, we have seen these documents protect your child/spouse from guilt- making it clear that you, the Principal, made the decision- not them.

Powers of Attorney

A Power of Attorney document is a powerful instrument that allows an Agent that you choose (spouse, child, trusted friend) have authority to act on your behalf. Powers of Attorney documents can have narrow or wide authority, depending on your choice and needs. These documents can be easily updated or replaced when the needs of a client change. Meet with our office to discuss this important tool.
