Oversights can be serious
An estate plan not only protects your legacy, it can protect you. An attorney can help you appoint a durable power of attorney and establish an advance health care directive so your personal and financial matters are taken care of in case of sickness or an accident. You can obtain the medical care you want, even if you cannot communicate your wishes.
Choosing the wrong trustee or agent can lead to issues and arguments among family members. The last thing you want is for your estate to be litigated when you are gone. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you understand the qualities to look for in a trustee or agent.
