Incapacity Planning

Atlanta Incapacity Planning Lawyer

Protect Yourself, Your Assets & Your Loved Ones

The thought of planning for a time that you might be unable to make decisions for yourself can seem morbid, but it is important. Incapacity planning lets you clearly define your preferences and lay out a plan regarding the management of your finances and medical care. In the event of a sudden illness or accident, everything would be planned for. Your wishes would be honored, and your loved ones would be spared the burden of trying to decide what you would have wanted. You would even stave off arguments between loved ones about your care and avoid abuse by family members more interested in your assets than your well-being. 

Incapacity planning ensures you, your assets, and your loved ones are protected.

Planning for Incapacity in Atlanta

Many legal tools can be used to plan for temporary or permanent incapacity. When these are used correctly, they offer an ironclad way to prioritize your wishes and designate trusted individuals to manage your financial affairs or make healthcare decisions on your behalf. If you do not make these decisions ahead of time and take the appropriate legal steps, Georgia law will take over. The court will appoint a guardian or conservator to make decisions on your behalf. If you want control over your future, you must avoid this outcome.

Some of the tools we use in our Atlanta incapacity planning practice include:

Because we also handle all areas of elder law, long-term care planning, estate planning, and probate, we take a well-founded, holistic approach to incapacity planning. Every possible tool is considered, and every consequence is evaluated so we can develop a truly personalized, effective incapacity plan.

This is a sensitive issue. Let our Atlanta incapacity planning attorney guide and support you in creating the plan that works for you. Call (678) 257-3332!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here to Help Every Step of the Way
  • What does “heir” mean?
    An heir is one or more of the nearest living relatives of the deceased person at the time of death. Sometimes the heir is only the surviving spouse or child. Other times the heirs are any number of siblings, nephews and nieces, or cousins.
  • What happens if a will is not probated?
    In Georgia, there is a legal mandate for the holder of a will to submit it to the court for probate per O.C.G.A. § 53-5-5. If a will is not filed with the court, any heir or beneficiary can petition the court to direct the will holder to file the will with the proper court. Wills are meant to be public documents once the grantor has passed away. Sometimes if a will is not filed with the court, beneficiaries and heirs cannot take legal possession of assets specified in the Last Will and Testament.
  • How long does it take to receive an inheritance? When can I get what was willed to me?
    The probate attorney can accurately answer how long it would take to receive an inheritance from an estate that has no will. The experienced attorney can estimate the time it would take to receive a gift from the decedent's will or trust.
  • What does “executor” mean?
    Executor is the person named in the last will and testament that's appointed by the probate court to administer the estate of the decedent according to the will.
