Why do You Need a Personal Plan?
Many people do not think of themselves as having an estate, but in fact we all have one. Whether your assets are modest or substantial, these assets comprise your estate upon your death.I prefer the term Personal Plan to Estate Plan becauseI believe the focus should be on making decisions that affect your life and the lives of those you care about.
Your Personal Plan will include certain legal documents known as Advanced Directives, which include:

Take the Last Will and Testament as an example. Everyone knows they need one, but how many of us want to think about it? And if you have one, when is the last time you updated it? The will you prepared when you were 25 and unmarried is not the same will you need after you have a spouse or life partner, children or any other developments in your family and circle of friends.
Likewise, when did you last consider whether the person whom you appointed as executor, or as agent under your power of attorney or health care proxy, is still available and is capable of handling this very important responsibility. If you have never prepared any of these Advance Directives, I invite you to schedule a consultation to learn more about what these are and why they are so important in taking charge of decisions that affect your life, your family and your friends.
