Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney - $65

The Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney lets you name someone to make decisions about your medical care if you can no longer speak for yourself. This Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney is especially useful because it allows you to appoint someone to speak for you any time you are unable to make your own medical decisions, not just during potentially life ending moments.

Your health care attorney-in-fact can be a family member or a close friend whom you trust to make serious decisions. The person you name as your health care attorney-in-fact should clearly understand your wishes and be willing to accept the responsibility of making medical decisions for you. Your health care attorney-in-fact must be an adult, eighteen years of age or older.  In order for this document to be legally binding, the declarant must be a competent person who is at least 18 years of age.

An Indiana health care attorney-in-fact has the specific power to:

• employ or contract with servants, companions or health care providers for the principal;
• admit or release the principal from any hospital or health care facility;
• have access to any records, including medical records, concerning any condition;
• make anatomical gifts on behalf of principal;
• request an autopsy; and
• make plans for the disposition of the principal’s body.

This form also allows you to appoint your health care attorney-in-fact as your "health care representative" - which under Indiana law means that person may make decisions concerning the withdrawal or withholding of health care; without being appointed as your health care representative, your attorney-in-fact will not have this power.

Once you have completed the online questionnaire, you will receive a word document containing your Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney. You will have the option of submitting your document for review by an attorney a single time. You will also receive a memo explaining exactly what you should do with your Indiana health care power of attorney to make sure it is executed properly.

Indiana Last Will and Testament - Married (For Use by Both Spouses) - $299

This Indiana Will has been specifically designed for use by married individuals with or without children. With this Indiana will, you can leave specific property to certain people or children via a written list or memo that you attach to your will. From there, this Indiana will contemplates that the remainder of your estate be distrubuted to your surviving spouse, and if no spouse survives you, then to your surviving children.

Our interactive questionnaire will gather information about you, and allow you to:

• Name the personal representative (and a backup) that will be in charge of administering your estate.
• Name a guardian (and a backup) to take care of any minor children that survive you.
• Have a contingent trust created for property distrubuted to any minor children that survive you, as well as name a trustee for such trust.

Some basic requirements for Indiana wills under Indiana Law:

• The testator must be at least 18 years old or who is younger and a member of the armed forces, or of the merchant marine of the United States, or its allies.
• The testator must be of sound mind.
• An Indiana will must be signed by the testator, or another person under the testator's direction and presence may sign the will.
• Two or more witnesses must witness the testator sign the Indiana will and are required to sign in the presence of the testator and each other.
• An Indiana will must be in writing to be valid.

It should be noted that property which is owned via joint tenancy with a right of survivorship may not be distributed via an Indiana will, as such property will pass to the surviving joint tenant upon death. It should also be noted that an Indiana will not alter a beneficiary to a life insurance policy; such an alteration must be made directly with the insurance carrier itself.   This Indiana Last Will and Testament is not designed for a complex and/or large estate that may raise special tax considerations. This Indiana Last Will and Testament should be used only for a basic estate which is below the threshold for the payment of inheritance tax and where discretionary trusts and settlements would not be required.

By purchasing this Indiana Will, you will have the opportunity to create a single Indiana will for each spouse.

Once you have completed the online questionnaire, you will receive a word document containing your Indiana Will.  You will have the option of submitting your document for review by an attorney a single time.  You will also receive a memo explaining exactly what you should do with your Indiana will to make sure it is executed properly.
