Estate Planning | Wills & Trusts | Medical Power of Attorney
Did you know over 60% of Americans do not have a Will? 90% do not have an up to date,
comprehensive estate plan. Important decisions relating to how your assets are distributed,
who will serve as guardian for your minor children and who might make health care decisions
in the event that you cannot could be decided by a judge without an estate plan. Estate
Planning is such a key component of one’s overall financial plan and now I have a product that
can help you to get your affairs in order.
All documents are state specific, legally binding, and customizable. We have plans starting at $40 a month.
Who will care for your children?
Without naming a Guardian in your Will, a
judge will make the decision as to who will have the care, custody and control of your children and the inheritance they receive.
Often times this can cause family turmoil, as different family members fight for custody of the child. The only way to guarantee that your wishes are fulfilled is by naming a Guardian in your Will.
How will you be remembered?
So, you don’t have a Will? No big deal, right?
Wrong! Without a Will state law dictates who
gets your assets. This is true even if you have
already told friends and family which assets
you want them to have when you die.
Regardless of how much or how little you may
have, make sure your wishes are known
by creating a Will.
Healthcare decisions?
A Medical Power of Attorney names one you
trust to make healthcare decisions on your
behalf when you can’t. Your choices on what
level of end-of-life care you wish to receive can
only be guaranteed by completing a Living
Will/Advance Directive. Your action now can
prevent needless heartache for your loved
ones during what will be a painful time
for them.
