The question of whether to craft an estate plan is really a question about what and who you may leave behind. Not having an estate plan in place, leaves all the decisions about your estate to those people you care about. And that is a burden, especially in the wake of a loss.

Your estate plan, when you craft with us, may include any of the following:

• A will
• Trusts
• Advanced directives
• Power of attorney
• Charitable giving
• Elder care instructions
• Guardianship directives

There are so many estate planning tools to look and review. However, when you meet with us, we will streamline the process for you. You may not need the most complex plan, but you will need more of a plan than just a simple will.

We’ll ask you about your wishes to find the answers to these questions:

• What do you want to happen with your assets?
• What will happen if you become incapacitated?
• Who do you want to make decisions for you?
• How do you want to be cared for as you age?

Your estate plan can include information about your care, as well as your estate. Moreover, having your wishes and considerations laid down on paper makes the entire process easier for your family.
