Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the healthcare directive treatment preferences?

Does the package include documents for clients with minor children?

Yes, the package includes guardian nomination, short-term guardian authorization, and caregiver authorization affidavit. These documents ensure your client's children are protected if the client becomes incapacitated or unavailable.

Are these documents compliant with California statutory requirements?

Yes, all documents are designed to comply with California Probate Code requirements for advance healthcare directives and powers of attorney. The HIPAA authorization follows federal privacy regulations for protected health information disclosure.

When should I recommend this package instead of a full trust package?

This package is ideal for clients who don't need probate avoidance (minimal assets or assets already in joint tenancy), young clients focused on incapacity planning, or clients who want to update their directives without modifying an existing trust.
