The documents most Texans need
- Statutory durable power of attorney. Names an agent to handle your finances: paying bills, managing accounts, handling real estate.
- Medical power of attorney. Names an agent to make health care decisions when you can’t.
- Directive to physicians. States your wishes about life-sustaining treatment at the end of life.
- HIPAA authorization. Lets the people you choose talk with your doctors.
- Declaration of guardian. Names who you would want, and who you would not want, as guardian if one is ever needed.
- Appointment of agent to control disposition of remains. Names who makes funeral and burial decisions.
Why it matters to get these right
Banks and other institutions review powers of attorney closely. Documents that are outdated, too narrow or not properly signed can be refused right when your family needs them. If you moved to Texas from another state, Jonathan can review your documents and update them to current Texas forms.
