Estate and Incapacity Planning for Seniors

Comprehensive Planning for Seniors

Protect your wishes, your family, and your legacy with the right plan in place.

As we age, planning ahead becomes essential. Seniors and their families often want reassurance that medical decisions will be honored, finances will be managed responsibly, and assets will pass smoothly to loved ones. Estate and incapacity planning provides that peace of mind. It ensures your wishes are respected, reduces stress on your family, and protects what you have worked hard to build.

At Wendler Law Group, we help seniors create or update the foundational documents they need as their circumstances change. Many clients come to us because they drafted a will or power of attorney years ago, but life has changed—health needs, financial circumstances, or family dynamics have shifted. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options clearly, and craft a plan that reflects your current wishes.

Our role is to help you prepare for both the expected and the unexpected. With the right documents in place, you gain the confidence that your affairs will be handled with dignity, clarity, and protection.

Why it matters:

Without a current plan in place, families are often left guessing about medical decisions, managing finances during incapacity becomes complicated, and the court may be forced to step in with guardianship proceedings. These situations create stress and uncertainty at a time when your loved ones should be focused on care and support. By planning ahead, you maintain control over your choices, protect your property, and ensure your wishes are respected no matter what the future brings.
