Expressing Your Wishes About Visitors During An Illness or Incapacity

One question we are often asked by clients is how specific they should be in their Estate Planning documents regarding their wishes about having visitors and guests during a serious illness or period of incapacity. We recommend that clients talk with their families about these preferences and write them down if necessary, in a signed letter. Open communication with decision makers, family, and friends is the best way for a client to express their desires in the event of a future crisis.
