"EITHER YOU HAVE A PLAN , OR THE GOVERNMENT HAS ONE FOR YOU!"

Did you know that everyone has an estate plan?  Unfortunately most people find this out too late!  If you have no plan, the State dictates what happens to you and your belongings in an open and very public court!

 

Most Americans are unsettled by the thought of leaving very personal decisions up to courts, bureaucrats, and laws passed by politicians, not to mention the costs and loss of privacy.

Most know they need something, but what kind of plan?  A Last Will and Testament?  A Revocable Living Trust? A Living Will, and Advance Directives? All of these? Or something else?  It's easy to get overwhelmed, confused, and just never make a plan...until now.

HOW DID YOU SCORE?

0     You are probably fine without an estate plan.  However make sure          you have "payable on death" notations on all of your bank                      accounts, and a power of attorney if you are unmarried.  

1-5   You should have at least a Last Will & Testament, and should                 consider a Living Will with Advance Directives.

5+    You would benefit from a comprehensive estate plan.  Your plan             should include a Revocable Living Trust, Last Will & Testament,             Powers of Attorney, and Living Will with Advance Directives.
