David L. McGuffey was elected Chair of the State Bar of Georgia's Elder Law Section for 2007-2008.
On January 1, 2007, Georgia published a new policy relating to burial contracts, burial funds and insurance policies. The linked memo is our first attempt to explain this policy. The rule is still developing so you should expect changes.

Effective July 1, 2004, there is a new law in Tennessee outlining the circumstances that allow surrogates (someone other than the patient's agent, named in a health care power of attorney) have authority to make health care decisions. We have posted a copy of the statute (Chapter No. 862). Please call us if you have questions about this new satute and how it impacts you.
