Every adult needs an estate plan - when planning for the future we must plan for the possibility of death or disability. One of the most loving and important things an adult can do is provide clear direction to guide loved ones in the event of an accident or illness. Do you want a stranger from the court system deciding who will make decisions about your medical care if you cannot speak for yourself? Do you want to choose the person to make decisions on your behalf? Do you have any special mementos you want to give to someone if you die suddenly? As a parent, do you know who will be guardian for your child if you are unable to be there? A basic estate plan is not expensive.
Estate planning is one of the best ways to plan for your family's future. What is the best estate plan for you and your family? It depends upon your particular needs and goals. Our most basic estate planning package includes a last will and testament, durable power of attorney, advance care plan, and appointment of healthcare agent.

• What legal documents do we need?"
  
• Who should we name as power of attorney?"
  
• Do we need a living will?"
  
• How will we have access to the medical records?"
  
• Who will pay the bills?"
  
• Do we need to change the will or deed?"
