As the news about Coronavirus/COVID 19 becomes increasingly stressful, we are all looking for a way to protect ourselves and our loved ones. We all need to feel that we have some control as things continue to get more chaotic.
So, it is important to take control of the things you can, now. In my experience, clients feel safer and more in control when they put an estate plan in place. Having an estate plan in place can bring you peace of mind to know that you have legally listed someone to make medical decisions for you. It will also help you to know that you have legally selected the people that you want to be guardians of your minor children if you are not able to care for them.
Having an estate plan will also reduce some of the burdens to know you have spoken with your parents, or other seniors in your life, about their wishes and assisted them with putting a plan in place. So, talk to your parents, spouses, adult children, neighbors or anyone else that is important in your life. Ask if they have a medical health care directive selecting someone to intervene, and advocate, for them with medical professionals. Or that you have all chosen a trusted person to assist with your financial matters if you are unable to do so.
Call now to schedule a free consultation with an estate planning attorney to talk about your needs and provide some coronavirus stress relief by putting an estate plan in place. There is so much happening in the world right now that you can’t control. Take control of something that will bring you peace of mind by getting your estate plan in place now.
