Are Your Basics Covered?

Many people do not even realize an estate plan includes essential documents that EVERYONE, even starting as early as college-age, should have.

Those essentials include:

• Financial (or Durable) Power of Attorney. Noting who can make financial decisions for you in the event you are unable.
• Health Care Power of Attorney. Noting who can make medical decisions for you in the event you are unable.
• Living Will. Documenting your wishes in for end-of-life decision making and life-preserving treatment when a doctor has diagnosed you terminally and irreversibly incapacitated.
• HIPAA Authorization. Noting who can have access to your health care information/records.

Whether you need additional estate planning strategies like a Will or a Trust can be determined upon a consultation with an estate planning attorney, but Goosmann Trust Law Counsel stresses the importance of the above essentials for everyone.
