Legal Resource Connections
Many people put off important decisions regarding healthcare planning, wills, estate planning, and advance directives. However, it's never too early to set up long-term planning documents that clearly outline your wishes. Hope Aging Care can guide families in finding the best resources for these critical financial and legal matters.
​​
Having these legal documents in place can significantly reduce family stress during major health events. It provides clear instructions for your loved ones, who will be responsible for making decisions on your behalf. These documents also help lessen the chance of probate, which is the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets.
​
Key Legal Documents to Consider
-
Wills and Trusts: A will directs how your property will be distributed after your death. A trust can provide more control and privacy and may help your estate avoid probate.
-
Advance Directives: These documents allow you to make your healthcare wishes known in advance. A Living Will specifies the medical treatments you want or don't want, while a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare names a person to make decisions on your behalf.
-
Durable Power of Attorney for Finances: This document gives someone you trust the authority to manage your financial affairs if you are unable to. This includes paying bills, managing investments, and handling banking.
