Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Power of Attorney

My husband is unable to handle financial affairs. In the event of my inability to handle our affairs, should I designate, legally, a person to act in my behalf both financial and otherwise. We both have wills and Living wills.

Thank you.

In addition to your Will and Living Will, you should have Designation of Health Care Surrogate and a Designation of Pre-Need Guardian. I suggest you speak with an attorney regarding this.
