Additional Legal Services

in Crane Hill, AL

At Flat Fee Law Firm, our estate planning work goes beyond drafting wills and setting up trusts. Some of the most important legal protections involve making sure your voice is heard when you can’t speak for yourself, and that someone you trust has the legal authority to act on your behalf. That’s why we also offer additional legal services to support your estate plan — from healthcare directives to powers of attorney and ongoing legal guidance. These documents give you and your family the confidence to move forward knowing that crucial decisions won’t fall into the wrong hands. Living here in Crane Hill, AL — where neighbors look out for each other and family ties run deep — we understand the importance of preparing ahead. So whether you’re managing care for aging parents or simply want to take the guesswork out of the future, we’ll help you make informed choices and create documents that clearly reflect your wishes.

Why These Legal Tools Matter

It’s easy to think of estate planning as something that only happens after death, but that’s just part of the picture. A good plan also accounts for what happens during life — especially if you ever become unable to make decisions for yourself. That’s where advance directives and powers of attorney come in. These legal tools work hand in hand with your estate plan, ensuring your financial, medical, and personal preferences are followed no matter what.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I name the same person for both my Power of Attorney and Healthcare Directive?

Yes. In fact, many people choose to appoint the same trusted individual to handle both financial and medical matters. We can discuss the pros and cons of this setup during your consultation.

Is a Power of Attorney only used if I become incapacitated?

Not necessarily. You can choose to make your Power of Attorney effective immediately, which can be useful for convenience or travel. Or, you can make it “springing,” meaning it only becomes active if a doctor determines you’re incapacitated.

How often should I update these documents?

We recommend reviewing your legal documents every 1–2 years or after a major life event (marriage, divorce, new child, serious diagnosis, etc.). Our On-Call Law Membership makes these updates simple and affordable.

Do these documents have to be notarized in Alabama?

Yes. Both Advance Healthcare Directives and Powers of Attorney must be signed and notarized to be legally valid in Alabama. We offer in-office and mobile notary services for your convenience.

What if I move to another state?

While many documents will still be honored, it’s best to have your documents reviewed by an attorney in your new state. Our team can help refer you if needed.
