Is a will enough to protect your wishes?
IS A WILL ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOUR WISHES?
A will is an important start, but it does not cover every situation.
Your will directs how your estate is distributed after death. It does not authorize someone to pay your bills or make medical decisions while you are alive.
A properly funded living trust can manage the assets it holds during incapacity and allow those assets to pass outside probate. Whether you need one depends on your circumstances.
A durable financial power of attorney authorizes someone you trust to handle permitted financial matters, even if you become unable to make decisions.
A healthcare power of attorney names someone to make medical decisions when you cannot.
A living will records your wishes about treatment in certain serious medical circumstances.
Why do these documents matter?
Because your family needs more than a conversation to carry out certain decisions
They may need legal authority and written instructions.
Properly prepared documents can help protect your wishes and reduce uncertainty. They cannot guarantee that no one will challenge your decisions.
Planning is an act of love. Give your family guidance before they need it.
Letβs discuss what your plan includes and how to get started.
