“The Florida Legislature has recognized that every competent adult has the fundamental right of self-determination regarding decisions pertaining to his or her own health,” explains attorney Katherine Schauss Naugle. “This includes the right to choose or refuse medical treatment or procedures which would only prolong life when a terminal condition exists.”

Naugle continues, “This right, however, is subject to certain interests of society, such as the protection of human life and the preservation of ethical standards in the medical profession. To ensure that this right is not lost or diminished by virtue of later physical or mental incapacity, the Legislature has established a procedure within Florida Statutes Chapter 765 allowing a person to plan for incapacity, and if desired, to designate another person to act on his or her behalf and make necessary medical decisions upon such incapacity.”

The experienced attorneys at the Law office of Katherine Schnauss Naugle, P.L. also help administer the actions required for the probate court process. These can include initial filing, accounting for the estate, payment of creditors and closing the estate. The administrator is also responsible for payment of taxes and distribution of assets. The firm will work with in-state or out of area clients to complete the process in a timely and convenient manner.
