Five Essential Estate Planning Documents in Zip Code 38488


If you can begin to see death as an invisible, but friendly, companion on your life's journey gently reminding you not to wait until tomorrow to do what you mean to do- then you can learn to live your life rather than simply passing through it.
 
- Erich Lindemann


Estate planning is a form of financial protection for you, your family and your assets.

But Estate Planning can also be a source of disagreement among family members. In order to reduce family strife, proper estate planning should be done to make sure your desires regarding the family estate are legal and clear to avoid confusion and conflicts among the loved ones you left behind.

Important Estate Planning Documents

• The Advanced Health Care Directive. This document contains your healthcare preferences and is activated the moment you are no longer able to communicate your wishes. It will guide your family, doctors and other healthcare personnel as to the treatments you want or do not want. I also name the person who is authorized to make healthcare decisions on your behalf.

Power of Attorney for Asset Management. This document indicates the persons whom you trusted to handle your financial affairs. This can also indicate the areas of help that they can extend to you. This will help prevent conservatorship when you become incapacitated so completing this form is a must. Your agent can immediate act on your behalf as long as he or she has a durable power of attorney.

• HIPAA Release Form. The federal government passed a law that protects our health care information. This has made it difficult for family members to deal with health insurance when we are incapacitated. But completing the HIPAA release form in advance can make the accessing of your healthcare information easier for those you named in your health care directive or power of attorney. They will be the one to have to deal with the insurance matters on your behalf when you are no longer able to do so yourself.


• A Last Will and Testament. This is a common estate planning method to transfer properties to beneficiary after a person dies. Though it is inexpensive, a will undergoes a time and money consuming probate when the grantor dies. People with modest assets can be serve best by a Living Trust, but living trust can also need a will for additional coverage.

• A living trust. Confidentiality, less cost, flexibility and faster distribution are just some of the feature of a living trust. Large assets and properties placed in the trust can provide some estate tax benefits. One of the downsides of a trust is that it is quite expensive to create and maintain. Trust needs to be properly funded. All real estate property and other investments should be transferred to the trust. Conflicts in distributions can be avoided later if you properly document your trust, thus allowing the trustee to dispense the property as indicated in the living trust document. Family conflicts and disputes can be avoided after you are gone.
