Are You Legally Prepared For A Crisis?

I never had many assets to safeguard or financial decisions to make. Consequently, I never saw the need for legal documents, such as a will or power of attorney. That changed when I was in a serious car accident that resulted in a coma. When I finally began to recover, I learned how stressful making medical decisions was for my family and how they struggled to manage my finances.

It is my hope that the information in this blog will encourage you to legally prepare yourself as well.
