https://509208lawgroup.com https://youtu.be/1gRAfJgJTuo As Estate Planning Attorneys serving Spokane, WA and Coeur d'Alene, ID, we are often asked about the most important things to prepare for estate planning. Here are the 5 major things you should be prepared for. Will: Every adult needs a will. Without one, administrating an estate when someone dies can become a complicated, time consuming, expensive mess. Without a will, the government will control how your assets are distributed. With a well written will, estate business can be handled with ease, and your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend. As estate planning attorneys in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, we can handle all of this for you. Health Care Directive: What kind of care do you want if you are near death? A Health Care Directive, sometimes called a “Living Will”, lets your family and your doctors know your wishes. By thinking carefully about end of life situations, you can make an informed and intelligent decision about issues like resuscitation, hydration, and nutrition. We encourage all of our clients to sign a Health Care Directive, and to visit with their families and physicians about their wishes. Financial Power of Attorney: A Financial Power of Attorney designates someone to act on your behalf in a wide range of financial matters if you become incapacitated. Writing checks, paying bills, making deposits, directing investment accounts, managing a business, and selling real estate are some of the many powers you can give to a close relative or trusted friend by naming them your “Attorney-In-Fact”. Medical Power of Attorney: A Medical Power of Attorney designates someone to make health care decisions for you if you cannot. Like a Financial Power of Attorney, the authority to visit with your medical providers or make treatment decisions does not take effect until you become incapacitated. Without a Medical Power of Attorney, your family or friends may need to petition a court to appoint a guardian for you. You do not want to be in this situtation. Memorial Instructions: Memorial Instructions let your loved ones know your wishes about the disposition of your remains when you die. For many clients, this is a deeply personal matter. What you want done with your body and the type of memorial service you would like are often influenced by your religious beliefs, philosophical principals, or your sense of humor. By leaving a set of instructions, you inform your family of your preferences. You let them know how you want to say goodbye.
