In this episode of Tangi’s Tapestry, Attorney Tangi Turner discusses why healthcare and financial powers of attorney and advance medical directives are essential parts of planning for incapacity. These documents allow trusted individuals to make medical and financial decisions when someone can no longer do so and can help families avoid the cost, delay, and emotional strain of court-ordered guardianship.

Drawing from her professional experience representing individuals who have become incapacitated or are alleged to be disabled, Tangi explores the real-life consequences families face when these planning documents are not in place. The episode explains how guardianship proceedings can become necessary in the absence of powers of attorney and advance directives, even when family members agree on what should happen.

This conversation is intended to inform and encourage proactive planning, emphasizing dignity, clarity, and peace of mind for both individuals and their loved ones.
