wills

 

Requirements

There are three documents you should really have:

A) Will – Allows you to appoint an Executor to carry out your last wishes, allows you to decide who receives your estate, and allows you to appoint a guardian for any minor children you may leave behind.

B) Enduring Power Of Attorney – Allows you to appoint someone to make your legal and financial decisions for you if you lose the ability to do so because of accident or illness.

C) Personal Directive – Allows you to appoint someone to make your personal and medical decisions for you if you lose the ability to do so because of accident or illness. Often referred to as a “Living Will”.

Failure to have any of these three documents will mean that your estate may not be dealt with the way you had hoped. It also means that your estate and your loved ones will have an added expense when trying to sort out your affairs after you have passed away or in the case that you lose capacity.
