What is your New Years Resolution?

That time of year has come....we have to start thinking about what we want to accomplish, change or do in the new year.

There are some who refuse to make New Years Resolutions.  The people who do, more often than not, will break them.  



I want to talk about getting your affairs in order:  Do you have your Last Will and Testament completed?  What about your Medical Durable Powers of Attorney?  Your General Durable Power of Attorney?

Most people do not want to think about these things because "thinking" about them means that you recognize that life is fragile and none of us want to think that our time is coming to an end. 

Here's the problem:  What you don't think about today your family HAS to think about later. What is a simple process for you today becomes a complicated process for your family tomorrow.  

Who knows what you want.....BETTER THAN YOU?

Ask yourself these questions:

• If you were in the hospital who would make medical decisions if you couldn't?
• How long are you going to be hooked up to life support machines if your family has to make that decision?
• If you were unable to pay your bills who would do it for you?
• That safety deposit box you have all your important papers in....who is going to be able to access them when you cannot?
• That precious item you hold dear to your heart....who is going to have it when it is no longer yours to have?
• Who is going to make sure all of your wishes are carried out?

Don't think of getting your affairs in order as a "bad" thing.  Many clients are relieved when it is completed.  When they call they sometimes say, "We've put this off long enough, it's time."  When they leave there is a sense of relief and "can't believe that it wasn't as 'dreary' as they thought it would be.

There are many ways you can complete these documents:

• Go to your local office supply store and buy them and fill them out.  One caution on this; make sure your bank, doctor, hospital, etc. will accept them. There is nothing worse than spending $100.00 on documents and hours/days/weeks to fill them out to only find out they cannot be used.
• Paralegal can type these documents for you but make sure the documents they use are State approved, preferably Attorney written documents.
• Attorney:  When you need legal advice or a trust it is essential you speak with an Attorney!
