Things to know about creating wills METRO SERVICES
Drafting a last will and testament is an essential component of estate planning. Despite the importance of having a will, a recent survey from AARP found that two out of five Americans over the age of 45 do not have one. Putting wishes down on paper helps avoid unnecessary work and sometimes heartache upon the death of a loved one. Wills allow heirs to act with the decedent’s wishes in mind and can ensure that assets and possessions will end up in the right hands. Estate planning can be tricky, which is why many people turn to attorneys to get the job done right. Attorneys who specialize in estate planning will no doubt discuss the following topics with their clients. • ASSETS OWNED: Make a list of known assets and figure out which assets are covered by the will and which will have to be passed on according to other estate laws, such as through joint tenancy on a deed or a living trust. For example, life insurance policies or retirement plan proceeds will be distributed to your named beneficiaries. A will also can cover other assets, such as photographs, clothing, cars and jewelry. 16 IN LOVING MEMORY | JULY 2022
Estate planning can be tricky, which is why many people turn to attorneys to get the job done right.
• GUARDIANSHIP: Parents’ wills should
include a declaration of who they want to become guardians of their underage children or dependents. • PETS: Some people prefer to use their will to also dictate guardianship for their pets and to leave money or property to help care for those pets. However, pets do not have the legal capacity to own property, so one should not gift money directly to pets in a will.
• FUNERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Settling
probate will not happen until after the funeral. Therefore, funeral wishes in a will often go unnoticed, states the legal advisement resource Find Law. • EXECUTOR: An executor is a trusted person who will carry out the terms of the will. This person should be willing to serve and be capable of executing the will.
People who die without a valid will become intestate. This means the estate will be settled based on the laws of where that person lived, and a court-appointed administrator will serve in the capacity to transfer property. This administrator will be bound by laws and may make decisions that go against the decedent’s wishes. To avoid this outcome, a will and other estate planning documents are crucial. o

Leaving a legacy is something people start to think about as they grow older, but it is easy to start planning a legacy regardless of your age.
METRO SERVICES
It is customary for people to take inventory of their lives as they grow older, wondering about their impact on the world and the people closest to them. A legacy is often the story of one’s life and the things he or she did through the years. The good thing about a legacy is it is never too early to begin planning. The following are some guidelines that can help people establish lasting legacies. • KEEP TRACK OF YOUR STORY. Grab a journal and start jotting down events that occur in your life. Mention particular achievements or notable things that occur from day to day. Pepper these accounts with stories of your family and
Ways to leave a lasting legacy childhood to start establishing an autobiography of sorts. • CONSIDER YOUR DAILY ACTIONS. Even though people may imagine it is the grand gestures that are remembered most, quite often it is the simplest acts that make the most impact. Think about the way you treat others every day. Smile at people, compliment them and offer positive advice when it is sought. • RESEARCH INVESTMENTS THAT ARE PROFITABLE. If the goal is to make
money to leave for future generations, investigate your options. These include assets that can retain their value. According to newretirement.com and Stepping Stone Financial, Inc., vacation
homes mean a lot to families and they also can be a source of future revenue, should they be rented or sold. Speaking with a financial advisor also can be a sound way to invest the right way to accumulate assets that can be passed down as a legacy.
• NAME CHILDREN OR OTHER RELATIVES AS BENEFICIARIES ON INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS. With Roth
IRAs, distributions are tax-free if the person who set up the IRA meets the five-year holding period for contributions and conversions. Beneficiaries can have five years to take out money from the account; otherwise, they can convert the plan to an Inherited IRA, which
stretches out distributions over their life expectancy, according to Investopedia, an online financial resource. • WRITE A LEGACY LETTER. A legacy letter is a way to speak directly to loved ones and say all those things that you had wished you told them earlier but maybe did not find the words or never had the time, according to Forbes. The letter ensures others know just how much joy they brought to your life and the pride you had in knowing them. Leaving a legacy is something people start to think about as they grow older, but it is easy to start planning a legacy regardless of your age. o JULY 2022 | IN LOVING MEMORY

What to know before drafting a living will METRO SERVICES
During the prime of their lives, people typically do not give much thought to scenarios in which they become ill or are facing the end of life. Sickness and mortality are not easy conversations to have, but it is important for everyone to approach these heavy topics with close family members so that they can rest easy knowing their needs will be met if or when their health falters. An advanced healthcare directive — also known as a living will — is a legal document in which a person lists the specifics of medical care and comfort actions they desire should the individual no longer be able to make decisions for themselves, due to illness or incapacity. The legal advice resource Legal Zoom says the living will may list certain things, such as whether life support is desired or if pain medication should be administered. A living will should not be confused with a traditional will, which is a legal document that explains wishes for financial and personal assets after a person dies. Living wills also differ from living trusts, which address how assets will be managed if a person becomes incapacitated.

A living will is not always a necessity if a person does not have strong feelings about decisions made on his or her behalf while not cognizant. However, for those who do want to have a say in care, a living will is the best method for ensuring choices will be carried out. The following are some other questions people should ask themselves concerning living wills. B 6 ❘ THE GAZETTE ❘ SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2018

• DO I WANT TO REMOVE THE BURDEN
OF TOUGH CHOICES FROM MY LOVED ONES? A living will relieves grieving
loved ones of the responsibility to make challenging decisions of invoking lifesaving procedures or not — particularly if they are not sure what you desire.
• DO I HAVE FIRM FEELINGS ABOUT LIFE-SAVING METHODS? A living will allows you to spell out preferences

• IS COST PREVENTING ME FROM DRAFTING A LIVING WILL? Cost need not be a factor in setting up a living will. You can download a free template from any number of online legal sources. Local hospitals often have forms as well, which can be notarized for only a few dollars. These forms are generally comprehensive and can help you answer all the questions and write in specifics. • HAVE YOU SELECTED A TRUSTED PERSON TO CARRY OUT WISHES? A health care proxy, according to the American Bar Association, is a person appointed by you with the authority to make decisions for you if you are unable to express your preferences for medical treatment. Together with the living will, the health care proxy, also called a durable medical power of attorney, can fulfill your wishes accordingly. A living will is an important component of medical and estate planning. o
