Death isn’t an easy topic for anyone, but deciding what should happen after you die while you’re still living can be one of the most thoughtful actions you take for your family. Establishing an estate plan ensures your family knows what to do with your assets, who’s in charge of said assets, and what your goals and hopes are for your family and friends after you pass. Estate planning is a term that’s thrown around quite often in the discussion of care for older adults, but what does it really mean? Creating an estate plan involves establishing trusts, wills, and plans for after your death, but it can also entail plans while you are still living. For example, establishing a power of attorney ensures you have someone you trust who can make decisions on your behalf should you become incapacitated and unable to do so. Some people want to establish trusts, which can house and protect many of your assets during your lifetime and can keep your loved ones from going through the probate process after you pass. Additionally, establishing a will allows you to set forth your preferences regarding who exactly will receive your assets upon your death. If you die without a will, then Tennessee courts consider that you died “intestate,” which means that your assets will be distributed to your heirs at law. The potential problem with this is that you may not want all of your heirs at law to receive your property after you die, but you will have no control over this situation because you did not prepare a valid will during your life time. Establishing a will outlines your wishes and allows you to carefully designate who should get what upon your death. It makes your family’s grieving process following your death much easier because they will not have to worry about your assets in addition to mourning. If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s the importance of being prepared. Establishing an estate plan is a great first step to being prepared, but the next step is to continually update your plan. For example, if you purchase a new home in retirement or if you are no longer close with the person you designated as your power of attorney, then you will want to make changes to reflect that in your estate plan. The legal team at Douglass & Runger can help you adjust your estate plan as your life changes and support your family upon your passing.

•1 tsp Himalayan salt
•1/2 tsp black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Take rib roast out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling.
2. Season roast with salt and pepper and allow it to rest for 10 minutes while you heat a gas grill to 600 F.
3. Sear roast for 3–4 minutes on each side.
4. Turn off the grill but continue cooking the steak, flipping every 4–5 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 F. Remove from grill. 5. Allow the roast to rest — its internal temperature will continue to climb — for 5–10 minutes. Slice and serve. “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger — something better, pushing right back.” –Albert Camus Inspired by Primal Palate INSPIRATION
