I want to prepare documents in case I am disabled or die. What services for advance planning does Bay Area Legal provide and am I eligible?

We can help with:

  • Durable power of attorney (designation of an agent)
  • Living will (for health care)
  • Health care surrogate designation
  • Preneed guardian designation
  • General medical information releases

We are not able to help with:

  • Living trust
  • Estate planning
  • Will

We provide legal education on advance planning to persons over 60 and persons with disabilities. For those who cannot afford to go to a private attorney, we can help make the appropriate documents.
