"After my husband got laid off we fell behind on our credit card bills. Mrs. Blutter was very sensitive to our situation and walked us through the bankruptcy process. She gave my family the second chance we needed."

 

"Two years of a bad economy made us fall behind on our tax payments and credit line obligations. Arthur’s experience as a CPA and knowledge of bankruptcy and tax laws helped us get the IRS off our back."

Advanced Directives of Care

 

Since the contentious case of the comatose woman in Florida, there has been great interest in the preparation of advanced directives of Living Wills, Health Care Proxies, and Durable Power of Attorneys. Living wills are statements that inform the medical community that no extraordinary care is to be given to an individual when that person has reached a state of being permanently unconscious or is in a persistent vegetative state with no chance of recovery. The only care to be given is that which will alleviate pain and allow an individual to die with dignity, a good death. Blutter & Blutter will consult, prepare, and assist in the execution of this important and timely document.

 

Health Care Proxies are like medical powers of attorney. In this document, an individual appoints a person to handle all medical decisions if the patient is unable to speak or communicate for himself/herself. Basically the agent steps into the shoes of the patient if the patient is unable to communicate. Blutter & Blutter will consult, prepare, and assist in the execution of this document which is often done at the same time as the living will.

 

When preparing, consulting, and assisting in the execution of the living will and health care proxy, Blutter & Blutter understands and appreciates the sensitive nature of a person’s feelings when contemplating the end of life.

 

A Durable Power of Attorney permits an individual, the attorney-in-fact, to handle a variety of matters for another individual who is unable or unwilling to handle such matters himself/herself. The power of attorney is durable since it will survive the grantor’s incompetency. This document does not cover medical matters. Those issues are dealt with in living wills and health care proxies. Blutter & Blutter will consult and prepare and assist in the execution of these important documents that cover many transactions that a person will face in his/her lifetime.
