Plan for the Future with Confidence
Advanced directives are documents that are intended to provide comfort and protection to individuals and their families. These documents can preserve your wishes with regards to your health care, your finances, your children and what will happen in the event of your death. While these can be tough and emotional decisions, you can have confidence and comfort knowing that your choices will be respected.
The first step in drafting an advanced directive is to talk with an experienced lawyer. At the Bronx law firm of Codelia & Socorro, P.C., we work closely with our clients to provide honest and accurate information that will help in the creation of advanced directives. Our attorneys will explain your options and the implications for you and your family.

Types of Advanced Directives for Individuals and Families
There are several types of advanced directives that can help families of every size and level of income. Same-sex and unmarried couples can especially benefit from this type of planning so that they can protect the wishes and desires of their partners who would not otherwise be recognized under the law.
Advanced directives include:
- Powers of attorney, which will determine who will serve as your agent when you are unable to make your own decisions
- Health care proxies, which allow you to designate a person to make health care decisions for you
- Last will and testament
- Designation of agent for remains and funeral arrangements, which will permit you to have a specific person control the disposition of your remains
Our firm can also assist you with the drafting of simple wills, trusts and other forms of estate planning documents. All of these documents can be used to create a plan for your future, but the exact planning will depend on your unique circumstances.
