What’s the Difference Between SSI and SSDI?

August 11, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Social Security Insurance (SSI) are two types of disability benefits offered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). In order to be eligible for either type of benefit you must meet SSA disability guidelines and be unable to work for income. Similarities Both SSDI and SSI offer supplemental income to individuals who are disabled. Your disability may be mental or physical as long as it is deemed enough to keep you from working a job. When … [Read more...] about What’s the Difference Between SSI and SSDI?

What is a Healthcare Directive?

August 13, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

A Health Care Directive is basically a durable Power of Attorney that allows you to name someone to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you become unable to do so for yourself. In some states the Directive instructs others about the care and treatment you wish to receive in very narrow, specific circumstances; for example, if, in the opinion of two physicians, you are either terminal or persistently unconscious. In those states, a separate Health Care Power of Attorney covers … [Read more...] about What is a Healthcare Directive?

What’s the Difference Between A Power of Attorney and a Durable Power of Attorney?

August 25, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants authority to someone you choose to take action on your behalf. POAs can be used for a variety of purposes but they’re most commonly used when you need your attorney to negotiate or enter into contracts on your behalf. What makes a POA “durable” is that you intend for the authority to continue, even if you become incapacitated. The authority granted under a general POA is automatically revoked if you become mentally incapacitated or … [Read more...] about What’s the Difference Between A Power of Attorney and a Durable Power of Attorney?

When is a Guardianship Necessary?

October 1, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

A guardianship occurs when a judge determines, with the advice of your doctors, that you are unable to make your own medical decisions. The court will then name a guardian, who is usually a friend or family member, to oversee your health care treatment. No Assigned Agent If you become disabled either mentally or physically and you are no longer able to state your medical wishes, you must have someone available to speak for you. Many people use a Health Care Power of Attorney or Advance … [Read more...] about When is a Guardianship Necessary?

How to Set Up a Disability Plan

October 25, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Death is a certainty, so an estate plan is essential for anyone who wants to leave an inheritance. But, what if you become disabled? Disability is only a possibility, but the odds of disability are greater than death. So you should still plan for it. By doing so, you can allow for a smoother transition in the event that you become mentally incapacitated. You can also help your family avoid a court-ordered conservatorship. Choose Your Documents First, decide which disability planning … [Read more...] about How to Set Up a Disability Plan

What Does a Guardian Do?

October 29, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

So, what exactly does a guardian do? Manage Assets Your guardian will have access to your financial accounts, personal property and real estate.

Powers of Attorney: Keeping Finances and Medical Apart

November 8, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

If you are thinking about using financial and medical powers of attorney (POA) to plan for your possible disability, it is best to keep these documents separate. You may create a joint document, but it is not a good idea. When you create each of these documents you will have the opportunity to name an agent. The agent for a Medical Power of Attorney is called a medical or health care agent. The agent for a Financial Power of Attorney is called a financial agent. You can name the same agent to … [Read more...] about Powers of Attorney: Keeping Finances and Medical Apart

Gain Peace Of Mind With Incapacity Planning

November 17, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

When you are actively engaged in living your life, stopping to consider future incapacity scenarios may seem inappropriate, out of context, even a waste of time. This is clearly true when you are young and bursting with robust good health. It can also be true later in life when you are enjoying an active lifestyle free of any significant health-related impediments. The fact is that this is as it should be. Estate planning is not about morbidly obsessing about the inevitability of death and … [Read more...] about Gain Peace Of Mind With Incapacity Planning

Planning for the Unexpected: Medical Power of Attorney

December 10, 2010 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

A medical power of attorney sitting in the drawer is like having an insurance policy. Insurance is all about planning for the unexpected: the tornado that hits your house; the accident at the intersection on the way to work; the long-term illness that keeps you from work; or the circumstances that may take your life. All of these unexpected events can potentially have disastrous effects on your ability to manage your own healthcare. A medical power of attorney prepared in advance in case of … [Read more...] about Planning for the Unexpected: Medical Power of Attorney
