FAQ: What Is a Medical Power of Attorney?

A Medical Power of Attorney is one of the most important estate planning documents every adult should have.

✅ It allows you to choose someone you trust to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.

✅ Helps ensure your medical wishes are followed.

✅ Provides clarity for your family during difficult times.

✅ Can help avoid confusion, delays, and unnecessary stress in a medical emergency.

Many people think these documents are only for seniors, but every adult age 18 and older should have a Medical Power of Attorney in place.

📞 Have questions about protecting yourself and your loved ones? Our team is here to help.

💡 Estate Planning Myth vs. Truth of the Day

MYTH: "My spouse will automatically be able to handle everything if something happens to me."

✅ TRUTH: Even if you're married, your spouse may not have the legal authority to make financial decisions or access certain accounts on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

Without the proper estate planning documents, your loved ones may have to go through a lengthy and costly court process to obtain authority to act for you.

A comprehensive estate plan can include:

Financial Power of Attorney
Medical Power of Attorney
HIPAA Authorization
Advance Directive (Living Will)

These documents help ensure that someone you trust can step in and help when needed.

❤️ Estate planning isn't about preparing for the worst. It's about making life easier for the people you love.

Last Thursday was our client appreciation crawfish boil. Got a little sun, loud Cajun music and clients from 20 years and more. Ben Archer’s team made some great jambalaya and loved the size of the crawfish! It is also the 29th year I have been practicing law in Lake Travis. I started with Ken Vanway in 1998 but I went out on my own in 2004 with the help of 2 very good friends (Joanne and Michelle you know who you are) and it quickly became a small boutique law firm doing our best to help our clients with estate planning, guardianships, probate and their businesses and asset protection. Today I am thankful for the clients who have come to the crawfish boil to celebrate and for the over 4000 clients we have served in these many years.

This event is also a Lake Travis Chamber event and as an early member of the Chamber – the group has been a valuable resource and support for this firm since I got to Austin. I appreciate the entire Chamber – then and now!

Of course, I also have to thank my partners, Mike Carroll, Hazel Sanchez, William Harlow and Zachary Kamykowski for making coming to the office an intellectual challenge and something to look forward to. But I wouldn’t come to the office if it weren’t for Meagan Coleman, Allison Mora and Sarah Peneguy who are the foundation of and keep the wheels in our office turning.

But mostly we have to thank the clients who have trusted us with their family’s most important projects. Many of you have become close friends, a few riding buddies and some close enough to call “almost family.” We love and appreciate you all!
