Today, it is becoming increasingly important to make provision also for misfortunes and old-age. This applies not only to general estate planning and, for instance, real estate or business undertakings. Also one's representation, custody and an advance health care directive have to be provided for. For more than ten years the previously usual short full powers of attorney have no longer sufficed to enable the agent to act as comprehensively as possible - particularly in case of illness and accident and also vis-à-vis doctors and nursing establishments - and to enforce the will of the principal. Besides, spouses and other family members are not authorized to represent the principal just by virtue of the law. We explain the general legal situation to you, take down your wishes and then draft documents by which you and the persons enjoying your confidence can achieve what you want within the bounds of legal possibility.
