WILLS

No one likes to think about dying!

A Will, though, lays out what YOU want done when you are no longer able to express your desires yourself. It protects your loved ones from having to fight over how they “think” you wanted your things taken care of, and who gets what.

When someone dies without a Will, it is left to statutory law to decide how the things you spent a lifetime building are divided, and leave it open for relatives whom you haven’t seen in years to make claims against the valuable assets you intended for others. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

Perhaps equally important, though, is that proper drafting of a Will also serves as an important estate planning tool and even helps to alleviate some heavy taxes on your estate and your heirs. The planning doesn’t take long, and a simple will is usually inexpensive, but not having one may cost you everything you spent your life accumulating. LET US DRAFT YOUR WILL, and then REST ASSSURED.

ADVANCED DIRECTIVES (Living Wills) and DURABLE POWERS OF ATTORNEY

Since the Terri Scheivo case, perhaps no other legal instrument has generated more interest and with greater reason. Once we die, we are gone and suffer no more. But what if we are alive and yet unable to express our wishes? An Advanced Directive or Living Will is the answer.

Like a contract, an Advanced Directive serves two purposes. First, it lets everyone know what you want done in specified situations so that YOUR WISHES are followed, not the guesses of those to whom the responsibility will fall. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, is that it removes this awesome responsibility from your loved ones. You can prevent the need for them to live with their inevitable guilt and second guessing over whether they made the right decision. ADVANCED DIRECTICES are usually inexpensive, but provide peace of mind that few other documents can. WE HAVE BOTH MEDICAL AND LEGAL EXPERIENCE to know what do draft. LET US DRAFT YOURS.

Finally, a DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY is like a Will that only takes effect if your are incapacitated. It directs what is to be done and by whom. DO NOT LET a court make these decisions for you. LET US DRAFT ONE FOR YOU TODAY.
