WILLS / ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

Unfortunately, tragedy can strike suddenly and without notice. Therefore, it is never too soon to draft a will and to prepare an adequate estate plan to make certain that your family is cared for. By preparing an estate plan, you are ensuring that your estate is managed, settled, and distributed according to your wishes and for the best interests of your family.

A WILL is one part of an estate plan and is one of the most important documents that you will sign in your lifetime. Regrettably, people put off preparing a will for many different reasons. For example, some people may feel uncomfortable discussing the topic and others may feel uncomfortable with the decision-making process itself.

A LIVING WILL is also an important document that one should consider preparing. A living will is a written document that expresses a person’s instructions for health care in the event that he/she is determined to be unable to make such decisions. For example, within a living will, a person will designate whether they wish to receive life-sustaining procedures under certain circumstances. Likewise, for similar reasons as discussed above, many people put off preparing a living will.
