40 Guardianship - Power of Attorney Living Will - Last Will & Testament GUARDIANSHIP Guardianship is a legal procedure whereby a Probate Court appoints a guardian to act on behalf of an incapacitated person or ward. An incapacitated person is one who is impaired by reason of a disability. Such a disability may be mental or physical illness, drug or alcohol dependence, or being a minor. The person is considered incapacitated when they lack the ability to make essential decisions concerning their health or safety, or to manage their property. Any person may file a petition for the appointment of himself or some other qualified person as guardian of an incapacitated person. The petition must include, among other things, the name and address of the incapacitated person and of the person seeking the appointment, the nature of the incapacity, a description of the property owned by the incapacitated person and its value, the reason the appointment is sought, the type and scope of guardianship requested, and the interest of the petitioner in the appointment. An evaluation of the incapacitated person by a doctor or other qualified professional will be required by the Court prior to the determination of incapacity. There are two basic types of guardianship: Guardianship of the person Guardianship of the estate The court may appoint a guardian to serve in either or both capacities and may limit the powers and duties of the guardian, depending on the circumstances. A guardian of the person is appointed by the Court to oversee the care and maintenance of the incapacitated person. This type of guardianship is particularly useful when a person is unable to make decisions concerning health care due to a disabling disease. A guardian of the estate is appointed by the Court to protect and preserve an incapacitated person s property, to invest it, and to use it for the benefit of the incapacitated person. In this type of guardianship, the guardian must make periodic accountings to the Court for all assets and how those assets are used. Likewise, the Court may require that the guardian give a bond to assure that the affairs of the incapacitated person are properly administered. Arkansas law also provides for the appointment of a temporary guardian in certain instances. Such a guardian may be appointed when there is imminent danger to the life or health of an incapacitated person or where his property is subject to loss, damage or waste due to the person s incapacity. A temporary guardianship is of short duration, no more than 90 days. 42

41 Power of Attorney A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives another person, the attorney-in-fact, the right to do certain things for the maker, or principal of the Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. It can be written to encompass a broad array of areas, or it can be limited to cover certain acts. This is an important distinction between a General and a Durable Power of Attorney that should be kept in mind. A General Power of Attorney can only be used when the principal is competent. A Durable Power of Attorney is needed in order for the attorney-in-fact to act for an incapacitated person. It is important that the principal knows this distinction and that he/she chooses the one that best meets their current or future needs. Another important item to keep in mind is that the principal must be competent when they sign the Power of Attorney. They must understand the nature and extent of the power of attorney when they sign the document. The Health Care Power of Attorney is a separate power of attorney that specifically addresses medical issues. A Durable Power of Attorney can be drafted to encompass medical issues; however, medical professionals may be hesitant to honor the attorney-in-fact s instructions. They often feel more comfortable honoring those instructions when the attorney-in-fact presents a Health Care Power of Attorney. If the principal foresees needing another individual to make health care decisions for him/her, it would be beneficial to execute a separate Health Care Power of Attorney. LIVING WILL A Living Will reflects an individual s desire as to the termination of life-prolonging treatment or medical procedure when they have been diagnosed as terminally ill or permanently unconscious. This document is known as an advance health care directive. The Living Will is a legally enforceable method of ensuring his/her wishes are honored in certain situations. If a person becomes unable to understand or unable to communicate with his/her doctors, the Living Will becomes active. A person may also designate a person to make specific treatment decisions as they arise. It is always a good idea to make sure that your primary care physician maintains a copy of this document in your medical records. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Every one of legal age that has assets, such as a house or a savings account, should have a will. A well-drafted will ensures that a person s wishes, regarding their personal and real property, will be carried out at the time of their death. This can help alleviate many worries for all parties involved. With or without a will, an estate will most likely be probated. However, if a person dies without a will, the Court process will be much more involved and time consuming. It is also recommended that married couples not have a joint will, but rather that each spouse have his or her own will. Joint wills tend to complicate matters and delay the process. Wills should also be reviewed at least every two years to ensure that no major changes need to be made, such as the death of a beneficiary. It is also important that the person tell at least one person where they keep their will so that they will be able to locate the original; a copy of a will is typically non-binding in a Court of law.
