Why You Need an Estate Plan
Why You Need an Estate Plan
Is Your House in Order?
"When you do the things in the present that you can see, you are shaping the future that you are yet to see.”
Who will inherit your assets? Without a plan, your assets pass to your heirs according to your state's laws of intestacy. Your family members (and perhaps not the ones you would choose) will receive your assets without the benefit of your direction or of trust protection. With a plan, you decide who gets your assets, and when and how they receive them.
Standard Estate Plan documents:
Healthcare Power of Attorney - No one plans to become sick, but people of all ages can become too ill to make their own medical and health care decisions. The health care power of attorney document allows you to choose whom you’d like to have as your representative if you are unable to communicate or make your own medical decisions.
Financial Power of Attorney - If you are unable to manage your own financial needs, perhaps because you’re hospitalized, a financial power of attorney allows your designated person to make financial and legal decisions for you. He or she can access your bank accounts, pay your bills and more
.Last Will and Testament - A will is a legal document that declares how property should be divided after a person dies. A person can use a will to legally declare how their property should be divided and distributed when they die.

Power of Attorney FAQs:
What is a Power of Attorney? A power of attorney is a legal document that lets someone else act on your behalf.
Does only an older person need a POA? No! There is no minimum age requirement for a power of attorney. Many attorneys and other estate planning professionals recommend individuals maintain a poa for their clients regardless of their age. Remember, a poa can only be executed while a person has the mental capacity to sign. Unfortunately, we never know when that day may come.
What type of authority does a POA provide? A POA can provide limited or specific authority for a person (who will be known as the agent) to make decisions on your behalf should the need arise.

Wills Save Time, Resources, and Stress
Wills Save Time, Resources, and Stress
If you do not have a will at the time of your passing, the court will name an administrator to manage your estate. Without clear instructions, the process can become lengthy, confusing, and highly expensive. Being proactive with a will can make for a smoother transition for your loved ones when the time comes.
