Dallas-Fort Worth POA Attorney
Durable & Springing POAs for Your Future & Your Loved Ones' Futures
You may have watched your parents or grandparents struggle to make decisions for themselves after suffering from a debilitating illness or injury. You may have even seen them go through the pain of seeing a loved one succumb to a debilitating illness or injury. As you grow older, you may want to take steps to make sure that you or your loved ones are protected in the event that you become incapacitated.
The answer to this problem is a durable power of attorney. With a durable power of attorney, you can designate someone to make decisions on your behalf in the event that you are no longer able to.
When you create a durable power of attorney, you must make sure that your agent is able to make decisions for you that are in your best interest. If you are incapacitated, you may not be able to provide for your children's college education, pay for your spouse's retirement, or leave a legacy for your grandchildren. A durable power of attorney can make sure that your wishes are carried out. A springing durable power of attorney can also be created, which will take effect if you are hospitalized for more than 30 days.

"Would Definitely Recommend Crain & Wooley"
We attended a lunch seminar hosted by Shelly Joyner and her team to listen and learn more about our options with Trusts. Based on Shelly's presentation, examples, and knowledge of Trusts, we were sold on Crain & Wooley as the firm to prepare and manage our Trust.
The Crain & Wooley process from start to finish was fast, efficient and very professional. Throughout the progression, both Shelly and Steve Crosby communicated, answered all our questions, and provided various trust documents through the portal for our review /comments.
Would highly recommend the services of Crain & Wooley!!

Finding a law firm to assist me in creating a "Living Trust" was very confusing. After interviewing three law firms, I chose Crain & Wooley.

It was a pleasure working with Justin Crain, Shelly Joyner, Steve Crosby, and the entire staff at Crain and Wooley. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt valued, cared for and appreciated. Justin took the time to explain to us the benefits of creating a trust and patiently answered all of our questions. My wife and I particularly appreciated their educational emphasis. They provided us with videos and literature that deepened our understanding of the process and purpose of creating a trust. We never felt any pressure during our meetings with them to purchase any legal products or services. They educated us, encouraged us to ask questions, and let us make our own decision. We did decide to create a living trust, and we are very pleased with the results.- William Benninghoff
