Estate Planning FAQ:

Do you need a Will?

Many young couples think that they do not need a Will because they don't have many assets, and mostly have debt.  However, one reason that couples such as this should still consider making a Will is so that they have guardianship provisions in place to address who would become guardian of their children in the event both parents died.  Without such provisions already in place in a Will, after an unexpected and untimely death of parents, a third party would have to spend a great deal of time and money petitioning the court for appointment of a guardian for minor children.  This could be avoided with a little bit of advance planning.

Do you need a Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive?

Many people, young and old, think that they don't need things like a Health Care Directive or Power of Attorney because "nothing tragic will ever happen to me".   However, a tragic debilitating accident can occur to any of us, at any age.  Doing a little bit of planning now and implementing estate planning tools such as a Health Care Directive and Power of Attorney can save a great deal of time and money later, when a guardianship may be necessary because these documents were not put in place.
