What Do I Care, I’ll Be Dead! – Thompson Von Tungeln
Have you ever said those words? Have you ever heard someone else (perhaps your spouse) say them?
While a will only matters when someone has passed away, proper estate planning is arguably more important during their lifetimes to address key issues that can arise, such as health, incapacity, disability, and long-term care. An expertly drafted and current estate plan not only minimizes stress and uncertainty for your family and loved ones, it can provide critical protection for and control over your healthcare decisions, property, accounts and other assets by ensuring one or more trusted individuals can speak on your behalf when you cannot.
Health and Incapacity: Modern technology is helping us live longer but not healthier. Without current and valid estate planning documents, your loved ones may have to go to court (very expensive and slow) to talk with doctors and manage your finances and family disputes may arise.
Disability and Long-Term Care: Disability, whether due to illness or accident, can happen at any stage of life. Planning ahead for long-term care can relieve the financial burden on loved ones. Did you know homeowners can receive up to 100% free nursing home care in California? Wouldn’t you prefer leaving your house to your children instead of losing everything to medical bills?
Whether or not you have a trust, it’s probably not a bad idea to talk to an expert estate planning attorney (initial consultations are free). You can also register for one of our Free Valencia Seminars in October if you are not ready to meet one-on-one.
Seating is very limited so please call us at (661) 945-5868 at your earliest convenience to reserve your seat or book a free initial consultation appointment.
