ESTATE PLANNING
The future is uncertain more so than ever. Estate Planning is one way for an individual to take charge of his/her future by documenting their financial asset and health care choices while they are able. Estate planning is not only for the elderly or the wealthy; it is for anyone who wishes to make their choices legally effective.
Can you answer the following questions with absolute certainty?
- Who will make your health care decisions if you are unable to make them?
- Who will sign legal documents for you if you are ill, incompetent or unable?
- Will your doctors follow your wishes regarding end of life care?
- Who will be granted custody of your minor children?
- Who will receive your assets when you die?
Estate Planning is one way to remove any uncertainty to your answers. Through a
series of documents, you will ensure that your wishes are memorialized in a legally
sufficient and binding way.
1. Last Will and Testament – memorializes your decision regarding how your
assets will be distributed at your death
2. Durable Power of Attorney – authorizes designated person to execute legal
documents on your behalf if you are unable
3. Living Will – memorializes your decisions regarding end of life medical care
4. Designation of Health Care Surrogate – authorizes designated person to
make health care decisions for you if you are unable
5. Declaration of Pre-Need Guardian – memorializes your choices for
guardianship of you, your assets and your children
6. Medical Records Privacy Waiver – authorizes medical personnel to release
information regarding your health to designated person
Some individuals require additional documents to address their particular concerns or
needs. For them, one of several various types of trusts may be advantageous. Other
individuals have needs to address tax concerns, probate avoidance or more. Our
attorneys are able to assist you by analyzing your situation, addressing your concerns,
and creating the best documents for you.
