In November 2008, Congress designated the third week in October is National Estate Planning Awareness Week! http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/hres1499/text
We want to remind everyone our office offers a complimentary thirty minute consultation to discuss possible estate planning solutions for your situation. Many people often think, I don’t have anything I don’t need a will or living trust. They are wrong! An estate plan is not just a will or living trust. An estate plan can be as basic as an advance health care directive and a power of attorney for assets.
If you do nothing else, you should have an Advance Health Care Directive. Do not leave your loved ones to guess what you would have wanted if you are unable to make your own decisions. Do not leave your loved ones to fight over who will make your health care decisions. Make it clear who will make the decisions and what you would decide if you were able to decide for yourself.
Do yourself and those closest to you a favor, visit Falk, Cornell & Associates, LLP to discuss your estate planning needs.
