LEGAL ASSISTANCE

You may need legal help to prepare a will, make other decisions about assets and resources, and give a close friend or family member the power of attorney, which is the authority to make decisions on your behalf when you are unable to communicate. Other services that might require a lawyer include arranging business matters and guardianship for family members.
