Estate planning is the foundation upon which the security and future of your family rests. It’s a process that not only reflects your financial achievements but also your values and wishes. By understanding the importance and components of a comprehensive estate plan, you are taking the first, crucial step towards a future where your legacy is preserved, and your family is protected.
What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is way more than creating a Will. While a Will is a good place to start, it is a gift to the loved ones you leave behind to have your wishes captured. But what about the other necessary documents to complete the task? Do you want to be cremated or buried? A disposition of remains will capture your desires. Do you want to be hooked up to all life sustaining treatments or simply made comfortable? A directive to Physician’s is the document you need.
Who do you want to step into your shoes and make medical decisions for you if you become incapacitated? A medical Power of Attorney will make those wishes known. Who do you want your protected health care information to be disseminated to? A HIPAA release is what you need.
Here is a quick read post “Frequently Asked Questions about Estate Planning” from Heather’s Family Law Blog.
