PRIVATE CLIENTS · MUST-HAVE
Powers of attorney and living wills are not a question of age. They are essential.
Free first consultation →The problem
Anyone left unable to act by an accident, an illness or unconsciousness needs someone with legal authority. Even a spouse does not hold that automatically without the paperwork. The guardianship court has to be involved, which costs time, money and nerves. Nobody needs extra hurdles in that situation.
Our solution
We help you put comprehensive arrangements in place: a lasting power of attorney, a guardianship directive and a living will. Clearly written, legally sound and tailored to your wishes, so that your family can act when it matters and your decisions are respected.

59%
Almost six in ten people in Germany have no lasting power of attorney. Without one, a partner or family member does not automatically get to decide, and court guardianship proceedings may become necessary.
55%
More than half have no living will. Without one, and unable to speak for yourself, others must decide on medical treatment without knowing what you wanted.
Only 12%
That is how few people under 50 have a lasting power of attorney. An accident or serious illness can happen to anyone, at any age.
6.5 million
lasting powers of attorney were registered in the central register at the end of 2024, and most adults still have none.
Worth knowing
Even spouses and children may not act for you in every area without a power of attorney. Court guardianship proceedings quickly become necessary.
The power of attorney, the living will and the guardianship directive work together and cover different situations.
An accident can happen to anyone. Younger people in particular often have nothing in place at all.
A power of attorney can be entered in the central register so that courts and doctors can find it quickly when it is needed.

STAYING ABLE TO ACT
Without a power of attorney and a directive, a court decides in an emergency, not your family. With the right documents you decide yourself who may act and decide for you.
Lasting power of attorney
sets out who may decide for you.
Living will
records your wishes about medical treatment.
Guardianship directive
names who the court should appoint as your guardian.
Worth knowing
The documents only work if they are correctly worded and can be found, and we help you get them right.
In a free consultation we establish which documents make sense in your situation, in person, by phone or by video. No obligation, and you decide whether to go further.
