Estate planning is done in order to protect surviving family members, to control the disposition of assets, and to establish guardianship for minor children or persons who are not competent to manage their own affairs. Jerry D. Sanders will help determine what you want to happen to your property upon your death.
There are at least three points which any person should consider when considering estate and will planning:
~A Last Will and Testament.
~The preparation of a Durable General Power of Attorney. These are called “durable” because they are effective even after incapacitation. Merely having a relative or friend able to sign checks on your bank account is rarely enough. In a crisis, you may need to have someone borrow against your assets, change your locks, file your tax returns, make insurance claims, and possibly run your business.
~Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care; also know as a ‘Living Will.’ The document allows the patient to pre-designate a human being to make that decision and states what the person wants done under certain conditions, such as losing all brain functions.
