Wills and Estates

Wills and Estates

Everyone should have a will. A will is a written document that gives instructions on leaving your assets to those that you wish.  Without one, your possessions, money, land, and other possessions can be left to someone whom you did not approve. Most people underestimate the worth of their estate and overestimate the ability of others to handle it. It can be troublesome for others to deal with.  Just as everyone should have a will, they should also have a living will and power of attorney. A living will consists of a written statement concerning someone’s medical treatment desires in case they are no longer able to do so themselves. Assigning a family member or friend to be the power of attorney or healthcare decision maker is important.
