Healthcare Planning

Life is unpredictable. A sudden illness, accident, or decline in health can leave you unable to make decisions for yourself—just when those decisions matter most. Without proper planning, your loved ones may face confusion, delays, or even court intervention to act on your behalf.

At Rodriguez & Lichtmacher, LLP, we help San Antonio families prepare for the unexpected with clear, enforceable healthcare planning documents. Our goal is to ensure your wishes are honored and your loved ones are empowered to act when it matters most.

Documents That Protect You and Your Family

Healthcare planning isn’t just about medical treatment—it’s also about financial access, legal authority, and peace of mind. We help clients create a comprehensive plan that includes:

Medical Power of Attorney – Designates someone to make healthcare decisions if you’re incapacitated
Durable Financial Power of Attorney – Authorizes someone to manage finances, pay bills, and access accounts
Living Will – Provides instructions for end-of-life care and life-sustaining treatment
HIPAA Release – Allows designated individuals to access your medical records and speak with providers
Emergency Access Planning – Ensures hospitals and care teams recognize your legal agents immediately

These documents work together to protect your autonomy and reduce stress for your family during medical emergencies or long-term care situations.

How We Guide You Through the Process

We take the time to understand your values, relationships, and concerns. Then we draft documents that reflect your wishes and comply with Texas law. Our process includes:

Initial planning and agent selection
Drafting and execution of legal documents
Integration with wills, trusts, and estate plans
Updates for life changes or new medical needs

We also advise on how to communicate your decisions with family members and healthcare providers to avoid confusion or conflict later on.
