When to Consult an Estate Planning Professional

Understanding when it's time to get in touch with an estate planning attorney can save you and your family unnecessary stress and legal complications. Here are some key situations that might indicate the need for professional guidance:

Handle All Documentation Before and After Death, Including:

• Revocable trust
• Irrevocable trust
• Last will and testament
• Power of attorney for property
• Power of attorney for healthcare
• Living will
• HIPAA authorization

Supplemental Needs Trust:

Children in College?

We recommend young adults, including college students, execute powers of attorney for property and health care. These documents are crucial for anyone 18 years or older, as life can be unpredictable. Powers of attorney allow individuals to nominate an agent to assist with healthcare decisions and financial affairs. Contact AuBuchon Law today to discuss your estate planning needs.
