Precautionary measures
Whether due to old age, accident or illness – anyone can find themselves in a situation where they can no longer make decisions for themselves. With a health care proxy and a living will, you can decide at an early stage who can act on your behalf and how this should be done. Notarization gives you additional security and ensures smooth recognition by authorities and banks.
Your notary for health care proxies, living wills and advance care directives
An unexpected event can change your life from one day to the next. Who makes decisions for you if you can no longer do so yourself? Without clear rules, the court will appoint a guardian – possibly someone you don't know.
With a health care proxy, you determine who may act on your behalf and according to your wishes. A living will allows you to give specific instructions for specific medical treatment situations in advance. A notarized power of attorney is essential, especially for property owners and entrepreneurs, as it is the only way to make quick and legally secure decisions.
A notarized document is easily recognized by banks, authorities and courts in an emergency – without additional checks. We provide you with comprehensive advice to ensure that your wishes are clearly recorded and taken into account.
