Estate Planning and Administration
Wills and Living Wills

A properly drawn Will is an easy and inexpensive way to insure that your property is dealt with the way that you want after you pass away. Living Wills let both your family and the medical profession know what type of life saving and life support options you want and what types you do not want if your physical or mental condition keeps you from being able to communicate those wishes. Carol Lynn de Szendeffy drafts Wills and Living Wills.


Durable Financial and Health Care Powers of Attorney
