3 Ways Estate Planning Benefits Your Family

With an Estate Plan! Show Your Family Some Love

Understand your financial and medical wishes. It’s vital that you assign your powers of attorney for financial and medical decisions so your loved ones know what to do if you become incapacitated and cannot care for yourself. Your financial and health care agents will be able to speak on your behalf and ensure your wishes are followed. Making decisions when someone is incapacitated can be stressful, but when you have an estate plan, it can make your loved ones’ role a lot easier. Ensure your children are taken care of. If you have kids who are under 18, then it’s vital that you have an estate plan. Without a proper plan, state courts can appoint anyone to care for your kids. So, if you have someone you want to act as a guardian, you must put that in your plan. You can leave money for your children, outline how they should be cared for, and provide any additional information that will protect them. With a proper estate plan, you and your family will be prepared for what comes next. You can dictate what happens to you and your assets when you pass away if you plan correctly. This will ensure your wishes are granted and provide your loved ones with peace of mind. Contact your estate planning attorney for assistance if you need to create an estate plan or update your current plan. They will be happy to lift some of the weight off you and your family’s shoulders.

No matter your age, health status, or net worth, estate planning is essential. While a world without you in it may be challenging for you and your family to discuss, it will prepare you both in the long run. Here are three benefits estate planning can provide. Avoid probate. Losing a family member is heartbreaking, and fighting over who gets what can add additional heartache. When you state your wishes in an estate plan, you get to control where your assets and property go — not the court. An estate plan gives you and your loved one peace of mind that your assets are protected and removes the stress about what to do with your estate.
