Our safe signing procedures at work — here we are reviewing and signing settlement paperwork with a client from a safe distance.
NOBODY PLANS TO DIE, BUT YOU CAN PLAN YOUR ESTATE! Q&A WITH ADAM MOSKOWITZ
Question: Is estate planning only for celebrities, or do regular people need estate planning as well? Answer: Statistics say 70% of people don’t have a proper estate plan. I never meet someone I can’t help. Dying without a will is often going to be a problem. There are certain exceptions, but generally, that’s the case. It’s much harder and more expensive to organize things on the back end as opposed to planning ahead of time. Question: What is a medical directive and do I need one? Answer: A medical directive (also called a health care power of attorney or a living will) is simply a legal document that makes your wishes known regarding medical care in the event you ever become incapacitated. It helps you avoid a huge mess down the road. That’s generally the rule in estate planning — whatever you pay on the front end is going to be nominal compared to what you will pay on the back end. There’s a lot more information on the webinar. Don’t forget to check it out at: DonahoeKearney.com/video/adam-moskowitz.cfm.
During the initial stages of COVID-19, we hosted a series of webinars to help people with some of the legal and practical issues we are all facing. In April, we talked with local estate planning lawyer Adam Moskowitz to hear what he had to say about estate planning in the age of COVID-19, and he delivered. Adam answered some great questions for us on the basics of estate planning: what needs to be done now, what can wait, and how he helps his clients plan their estate the right way. We pulled out a few of the most interesting and relevant topics. But you should definitely watch the entire interview on our website: DonahoeKearney.com/video/adam-moskowitz.cfm. Question: Can I do my estate on Legal Zoom or another one of those types of websites? Answer: You can do your estate on Legal Zoom, but it’s only going to help you to the extent you understand what you’re doing, and for the most part, estate planning has nuances that aren’t covered in these types of DIY websites.
