Take Care Of Your Estate Planning Legal Needs Today
When you address your estate planning legal services, these are the primary documents that you should look at before taking your much-deserved vacation:
1. Last Will and Testament
Here, you name an executor, who will follow your directions. You can deal with any funeral provisions. You can also lay out all considerations for the care of your spouse (or domestic partner), children, pets, and any other beneficiaries. If you are married, your spouse needs a separate Will.
2. Durable Power of Attorney
If you cannot make decisions for yourself, then you need a trusted ally to act on your behalf regarding financial and legal decisions. Durable Power of Attorney lets you assign this representative so that in the event of an accident or incapacitating health condition, someone can act swiftly in the way you would act for yourself.
3. Health Care Power of Attorney and Living Will
This is similar to the above mentioned #2, but specifically regarding medical decisions. The Living Will deals with the type of medical care you know you want or don’t want. If you never want to be kept alive with a feeding tube and ventilation, you would specify that in a Living Will.
4. Letter of Intent
Do you know how you want your funeral to go? What music do you want played? Where do you want it to be? That information does not belong in a Will. It belongs here, in a letter of intent.
5. Digital Asset Provisions
This is a new dimension of estate planning. What do you want done with your Facebook account? Do you want your hard drives swept clean, or kept? How about information stored in the cloud, via Dropbox or Google Drive? You can clarify all of that here.
6. Designation of Beneficiaries
Make sure this is up to date, with the most recent contact information and physical addresses. These are the people you have selected to inherit your worldly possessions.
