Power of Attorney forms

The State of Illinois recently changed the Power of Attorney Act. The law enabled new forms for the Power of Attorney for Health Care and Power of Attorney for Property. Both forms are important for protecting your future and estate planning. They designate someone to act on your wishes if you become disabled or suffer a medical emergency. Call your attorney to discuss which forms can help you. An experienced attorney can modify the forms to meet your specific needs and provide for situations that the legislature did not consider. Every adult should have these forms before an emergency strikes.
