What is Estate Planning?
An Estate Plan ensures that your needs, your families’ needs, and financial goals are met during your lifetime and upon your death.
A thorough and comprehensive plan would include:
- A Last Will & Testament
- A Power of Attorney
- A Health Care Proxy
- A Living Will
- A Trust (depending on your needs).
Everybody needs an Estate Plan because it states how your assets are to be distributed upon your death through a Will and/or Trust and whom you would want to handle your financial and health matters during your lifetime with a Health Care Proxy, Living Will and Power of Attorney.
It is critical to have Estate Planning documents done by an attorney, even if you think you may not have a “taxable” estate. Leaving the administration of your affairs to chance without a will, or with documents not specifically tailored to your personal needs and circumstances, can lead to drastic and often costly consequences.
