When we think of Estate Planning, we tend to think of Wills and what will happen to our estate when we die. A Will, of course, is important for distributing your estate amongst your named heirs and beneficiaries, as well as for minimizing estate taxes and naming guardians and trustees for your minor children. Usually little, if any, attention is paid to what might happen if we become disabled and no longer able to act for ourselves. Yet, if we should become disabled and unable to act for ourselves, the question of who will make decisions for us and what those decisions might be will become vitally important in terms of what our quality of life will be in the future. It is for this reason that a sound estate plan should take into account not only a properly prepared and thought out Last Will and Testament, but also a Durable Power of Attorney and Living Will (Advance Medical Directive). These three documents are very important and together constitute an integral part of your overall estate plan. The attorneys at SerraWeiss have extensive experience preparing all three documents and are happy to work with you in making sure the right estate plan is in place according to your particular situation.
