Wills, Living Wills, and Power of Attorney
Many people struggle with establishing a Will, Living Will, and Power of Attorney. It can be a daunting task, but they are extremely important. Having your affairs in order today can give you and your family peace of mind. It’s affordable and only takes an hour of your time.
Will
A will becomes valid at the time of death and states a person’s wishes of how the estate is to be handled and distributed. An executor is appointed who handles the estate. If there is no executor, the family chooses one. That person has to apply to become administrator of the estate before anything can be done.
Living Will
A living will indicates a person’s desires regarding their medical treatment when they are incapacitated and appoints someone to make medical decisions for them when they are medically unable to give informed consent.
Power of Attorney
Power of attorney gives another party authority to take control of all or a portion of a person’s financial and legal affairs. This can be short-term while the person is out of the country, or long-term during a time of incapacity. This allows bills, taxes, banking, etcetera, to be taken care of when the individual is not able to do it themselves.
