Why do we need to do it Now?

Don’t wait until…
a family member or loved one becomes disabled or incapacitated. In the course of my practice I am sometimes contacted by families after it is too late to do anything. When a person is no longer capable of making decisions, little can be done in terms of estate planning. It is always better to plan for the future in order to protect your loved ones.
Eliminate family conflicts…
by writing your will or creating a trust. As an attorney with thirty years’ experience I can attest that some families are cooperative and get along famously while others will fight over almost anything. One effective way to prevent family feuds is to put your wishes in writing. A professionally prepared, estate planning document insures that your plans will be respected by all.
Protect yourself by…
executing a Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Power of Attorney for Property. If you are a single person or have lost your spouse, it is essential that you name an agent to act on your behalf in the event you become incapacitated. Your health care agent will work with your doctor and other medical professionals to insure that your expectations concerning medical care are respected. Your property agent will work to pay your bills and protect your assets. Remember, when selecting an agent it is absolutely necessary that you trust your agent 100%.
