Why a Crisis is the Worst Time to Make a Plan
Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives are critical to have in place before you need them.
The start of a new year often brings a "clean slate" mentality. At Rose Hill, we believe the best gift you can give yourself (and your family) this January is a solid system for the future.
Too often, families call us after a fall or a sudden health change. At that point, decisions are rushed, and stress is high. Proactive planning—specifically establishing a Power of Attorney (POA) and a Health Care Directive (HCD)—is about maintaining control, not giving it up.
Why act now?
Choice over Chance: You decide who speaks for you if you can't speak for yourself.
Avoiding Court: Without a POA, your family may have to go through expensive guardianship proceedings.
Clarity for Loved Ones: It removes the guesswork for your children or spouse during an emotional time.
Personal Peace of Mind: If you don’t have or don’t trust family with your affairs, it allows you and your representative to get to know each other and understand your wishes.
At Rose Hill, we don’t just help with these documents; we can serve as your Attorney-in-Fact or Health Care Agent, providing a professional, neutral layer of support.
