What Happens To Your Practice If You Are Not There?

PROFESSIONAL WILL FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS

Protect Your Clients.
Safeguard Your Records.
Preserve Your Legacy.

WHY IT’S A LEGAL & ETHICAL ESSENTIAL
If you were incapacitated or passed away:
  • Who would notify your clients?
  • Who could access or transfer records — legally?
  • Would your Executor be protected?
  • Would your practice be shut down ethically and correctly?
This Will solves that — before it becomes a crisis.

Value: $2,500
Regular Price: $997
Launch Price: $597

One-Time License • Editable Format • Delivered in 3–5 Business Days

WHY THIS MATTERS

This isn’t just a document. It’s a continuity plan designed specifically for therapists, supervisors, and behavioral health providers who take their responsibilities seriously. If something happens to you, this helps make sure your practice doesn’t fall into legal or ethical chaos.

Whether you work solo, supervise others, or manage client records, you’re still responsible for continuity of care—even in an emergency, illness, or death.

The Professional Will gives your clients protection, your records proper handling, and your Executor a clear plan of action. No lawyer needed, no digging through templates, and no second-guessing what comes next.

Professional Ethics Require Continuity Planning

Mental health professionals are ethically obligated to ensure continuity of care in the event of their unavailability. While not all boards use the term Professional Will, several major professional organizations include clear language in their Codes of Ethics that support its underlying purpose:

National Association of Social Workers (NASW)
Code of Ethics, Section 1.15 – Interruption of Services:
“Social workers should make reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of services in the event that services are interrupted by factors such as unavailability, relocation, illness, disability, or death.”
(Source: NASW Code of Ethics, 2021)
American Counseling Association (ACA)
Code of Ethics, Section C.2.h – Counselor Incapacitation, Death, Retirement, or Termination of Practice:
“Counselors prepare and disseminate, as part of their professional estate plan, a plan for the transfer of clients and files in the case of their incapacitation, death, retirement, or termination of practice. This plan includes the designation of a colleague or records custodian and addresses how to inform clients of the change and how to access records.”
(Source: ACA Code of Ethics, 2014)
American Psychological Association (APA)
Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, Standard 10.09 – Interruption of Psychological Services:
“Psychologists make reasonable efforts to plan for facilitating services in the event that psychological services are interrupted (e.g., by the psychologist’s illness, death, unavailability, relocation, or retirement).”
(Source: APA Ethics Code, 2017)

American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT)
Code of Ethics, Section 1.11 – Nonabandonment:
“Marriage and family therapists do not abandon or neglect clients in treatment without making reasonable arrangements for the continuation of such treatment.”
(Source: AAMFT Code of Ethics, 2015)
