Harford County Offers Free 'Decisions That Determine Your Destiny' Program

From Harford County: Legal documents such as a financial power of attorney and advance medical directive can ease the burden of resolving legal issues in cases of catastrophic illness or injury to yourself or a loved one. Harford County’s “Decisions That Determine Your Destiny” program offers free advice and assistance drafting these important legal documents to ensure that personal wishes are followed when difficult circumstances arise. Launched in 2016 through a partnership between the Harford County Department of Community Services and the Harford Bar Foundation, Decisions That Determine Your Destiny will be offered again this spring. Participation is free, but registration is required.

The program for individuals and family members will begin with a workshop to demystify the legal process and identify necessary information and factors to consider before drafting a financial power of attorney and/or advance medical directive. Harford County Community Services’ Office on Aging will provide a handy checklist folder for all participants. Participants should register for any one of the following workshops planned at local activity centers:
