As an Orange County estate planning attorney, (http://www.tompkins-law.com/estate-plan-reviews-and-amendments/)I understand how important planning for future health care is. Selecting your agent is one of the most important aspects of doing so. You agent has to be dependable because they will be responsible for your overall well being when you are no longer able to care for yourself. They must be able to follow out your wishes without hesitation. Although your agent does not need to be someone who resides in California, they should be prepared to travel to your bedside if it is deemed necessary. Your agent will start making health-care related decisions for you when you are no longer capable of doing so.
