ESTATE PLANNING AND PROB ATE

• 55% of Americans die without a will or estate plan

• 25% of people over 75 have no will or estate plan • 92% of people under 35 have no will or estate plan • 50% of parents have no will or estate plan

Do you see yourself in one of these statistics? Is your estate plan all set to go in the event something happens to you? Or, is it on the list of things you know are important but that you just can’t seem to get done?

IT’S CERTAINLY HUMAN TO DELAY PUTTING TOGETHER AN ESTATE PLAN WHEN IT MEANS HAVING TO FACE YOUR OWN MORTALITY. MAYBE YOU THINK THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY DECISIONS TO BE MADE AND IT OVERWHELMS YOU.

LET US HELP.

THIS INFORMATION BRIEF EXPLAINS WHAT EXACTLY IS AN ESTATE PLAN AND WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN IT TO PROTECT YOU BOTH WHILE YOU ARE LIVING AND ONCE YOU PASS AWAY.

THE DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY WE JUST DESCRIBED IS CONSIDERED TO BE “NON -SPRINGING.” IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE IS ALSO A “SPRINGING POWER OF ATTORNEY” WHICH “SPRINGS” INTO ACTION ONLY AFTER A SPECIFIC EVENT OCCURS.
