Planning Ahead for Your Future Health Care Concerns
If you do not prepare an estate plan and the state is left to dictate your medical care in your later years, the most important decisions regarding your care will be made by your next of kin: probably your children, spouse or parents. Don't you think it is a better idea to leave these essential choices to someone who is best qualified to make these decisions?
By effectively executing the proper documents for health care matters, you can choose the best qualified person. Whether this is your best friend who truly understands your values or your next-door neighbor who is a health care professional, you can be in control.
As a nurse-attorney, I am very familiar with the medical concerns you need to consider when considering health care decisions.
Preparing for the Distribution of Your Assets
If you do not decide how to distribute your assets, the state will. By planning ahead, you can ensure that the distribution is according to your wishes and goals.
Using a combination of wills and trusts, as necessary, you can make sure that your wishes are enacted even when you are no longer able to express them. Establishing powers of attorney for financial matters can ensure that you are putting important decisions in the hands of people you trust.
Additionally, effective estate planning can ensure that your assets are protected and you will be eligible for Medicaid before depleting all of your personal assets.
