During these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever for people to think about whether or not their estate planning affairs are in order. Many may be wondering if their loved ones and assets are protected and, if this is a concern for you, now might be a good time to reach out to an experienced estate planning attorney.
Examples of important estate planning documents individuals might want to consider are a Last Will and Testament, Living Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Health Care Directives, HIPPA authorization, and Guardianship Designation for children. If an individual has pets, it is important to consider planning for furry friends, as well.
Furthermore, now might be as good a time as any to begin a discussion with family members about your plans and goals and who might be the best fit to serve as Personal Representative, Trustee, agent under a financial and medical power of attorney, and as Guardian of minor children.
In order to accommodate these changing times, we have created a system such that the estate planning process can be done from the comfort of home. All meetings can be held either via telephone or via a Zoom call and we ensure that when the time comes to execute documents, all safety precautions are strictly adhered to. Please reach out to us if you are interested in completing your estate planning documents today.
