Common Estate Planning Questions

What are Living Wills?

A living will is a document signed by you that gives specific directions to health care providers and others regarding the care you desire to receive if diagnosed by two physicians to be terminally ill or in a permanent vegetative condition.

Do I Need an Estate Plan or Will?

Everyone with children and/or assets, really should talk to a legal adviser about an estate plan. Estate planning handles issues surrounding the process of dying and the steps involved in transferring your assets after death. Estate planning covers disability planning, powers of attorney, gifting of assets during your lifetime, charitable contributions, asset allocation, and a number of other issues. Carefully constructed estate plans help you to control your property while you are alive, take care of yourself and loved ones in the event of incapacity, and transfer property to those you love as and when you want those transfers made. It's all about reviewing and securing your personal options. Your estate plan should be reviewed with your legal adviser often to ensure that tax law changes or changes in circumstances have not made your plan less effective.
