Estate Planning Protects You and Your Assets

Estate Planning can protect your hard earned assets. Your assets include your investments, retirement savings, insurance policies, and real estate or business interests. To begin planning you should ask yourself three questions:

1.) Who do you want to inherit your assets? The answer to this question belongs in your will.

2.) Who do you want handling your financial affairs if you're ever incapacitated? The answer to this question belongs in your power of attorney form.

3.) And, who do you want making medical decisions for you if you become unable to make them for yourself? The answer to this questions belongs in your health care or living care proxy.

Based upon your answers to these questions you can begin building these important parts of your Estate Plan. Do you really want someone else answering these questions for you?
