As the arrival of Spring slowly approaches, numerous families are busy finalizing their vacation plans. Amidst the excitement of planning the perfect getaway, there’s often one crucial aspect missing from the typical “To Do” list – estate planning. Though it may seem frivolous, adequate preparation provides travelers with peace of mind that, no matter what, their wishes will be fulfilled. When traveling with your family, it’s essential to have your affairs in order through an estate planning firm in case of unforeseen events.
Whether facing the unfortunate circumstances of death or disability, having a comprehensive estate plan ensures that your heirs have the necessary information to carry out your wishes. Without such a plan, you might find yourself (and family) subject to State law and, potentially, reliant on a judge who knows nothing about your unique situation. Such instances may result in estate rulings that contradict your desires.
The foundational documents in an effective estate plan are:
- Last Will and Testament
- Financial Power of Attorney
- Advance Medical Directive.
Creating an estate plan can seem daunting, particularly without previous experience with such documentation.
