Shannon Pawley, The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, discusses important legal and ethical considerations for creating a plan for end-of-life care.

DECATUR, GA, February ••, 2024: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new article on the law firm’s website entitled “End-of-Life Planning: Legal and Ethical Considerations,” in which Ms. Pawley encourages individuals to consider the ethics of putting loved ones in the difficult position to make decisions that only everyone can make for themselves.

Pawley points out that, “Historically, Americans don’t spend much time thinking about death and dying. Typically,” she adds, “Americans keep eyes, thoughts, and actions, steadily fixed on the next achievement, the next project, the current problem.” She continues, “Thinking about end-of-life planning was once the domain of the wealthiest Americans, those who had great wealth to pass on to the next generation. However, today, many people not considered wealthy own homes, automobiles, boats, stocks and bonds and other things of value that they would like to pass on to loved ones. And,” she emphasizes, “no matter what your socio-economic standing, everyone is subject to the unexpected surprises life deals out.”

“With this thought in the forefront of your mind,” Pawley states, “it’s time to consider the legal and ethical considerations of end-of-life planning that is becoming more and more important for most Americans 18 and older. The world has just gone through a global pandemic where millions of people died without medical directives, estate plans or any legal documents that expressed the way they wished to be cared for when they were unable to speak for themselves.”
