I Sure Will: Estate Planning Basics
Having a will allows you to communicate how you would like your estate to be handled after you're gone. Choosing where your assets will go, how they are handled ahead of time can save some major family headaches, and heartaches. Plan childcare, charitable giving, burial arrangements and more, so that they are handled efficiently, in a way that you choose.
A power of attorney directs how your finances will be handled if you are ever unable to manage them yourself.
A living will specifies how your healthcare will be managed if you aren't able to communicate.
In addition to having these legal documents in place, take time to communicate your wishes to your family ahead of time. Although difficult, this can prevent major upsets after your gone, and give you a chance to explain why you made certain decisions.
