It’s Time for Your Annual Check-Up!
This newsletter isn’t about scheduling a doctor’s visit, but this reminder may be just as important. We’ll provide the resources and materials you need to get this important check-up process started.
We have included several checklists to help you conduct a quick review of how your family and circumstances may have changed in the last year. Life events such as marriages, new babies, death, or divorce may mean that your health care directives, powers of attorney, will, or trust need to be updated. Do you have a student in college? Learn why it’s so important to have proper legal documents if they have a healthcare crisis. Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease can require additional measures to be put in place. Our guides and checklists make it really easy to get started and ensure that you and your loved ones have exactly what you need, for any life events.
Don’t forget that estate planning can be a great gift for your family members too. Whether they need a simple will, powers of attorney, or a more complex estate plan, we can help! We are proud to serve as your family’s legal advisor for thoughtful planning and during times of crisis. Please let us know how we can help you and your family!
