Estate Planning
Do you have a Will, Living Trust, Powers of Attorney, or Health Care Directives? If not, it’s time to create an estate plan.
Estate planning is about two things: 1) what happens if you pass away and 2) what happens if you become incapacitated. Do you know what would happen in these situations if that happened to you? Every person should have an estate plan that they create because if you don’t create a plan, the state will create one for you.
A well-drafted estate plan ensures that your assets go to the right people, not the people selected by state law. By creating a Last Will and Testament or Revocable Living Trust, you are choosing who inherits your assets and under what circumstances. Creating an estate plan is especially critical for parents with minor children a Last Will and Testament is the only place you can name a guardian to care for your children if you are unable.
An estate plan also gives direction regarding your wishes if something were to happen to you. By creating Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives you can ensure that the right people of your choosing can make your critical health care and financial decisions if you are unable.
Estate planning is about making decisions about the most important people in your life – your family. It’s about family security, having a plan for the future, and peace of mind.
