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:
