Is avoiding probate important?

When I first meet with clients they frequently tell me that they “need a living trust to avoid probate.” They less frequently know what probate is, or why they want to avoid it. To determine if you should be trying to avoid probate, you must first know a little about probate.

Understand the two types of Power of Attorney documentation and be sure you have both

Power of Attorney documents are often an afterthought when someone thinks about their estate plan. Wills and Trusts are used to establish the important directions regarding what should happen to one’s assets upon death, and who should oversee carrying out those directions. However, the planning documents that deal with how things will work while you are still alive but have become incapable of making your own decisions are arguably even more important. This is because you will still be alive and still be impacted by how those decisions are made. A quality estate plan should deal with both death, and with incapacity. Power of Attorney documents are the primary way we plan for incapacity, and you should certainly have a Power of Attorney. Actually, you should have two different types of Power of Attorney documents — one for health care purposes and one for financial purposes. Let’s look at why both are necessary for all of us.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Fragrance Hazards: More than skin deep — Part I

We all want to smell clean and look nice, especially when dressed for a special occasion. However, the fragrances we choose could be hazardous to our health! What?! On a regular basis, we don fragrances in many ways: perfumes, lotions, shampoos, body washes, etc. These are just a few. But, these add up. Accumulative toxins from fragrances could be a key, or at least a puzzle piece, to some of your health issues. Chemical sensitivities in general, are a growing concern, but sometimes what we put on our bodies are the first, most direct source of allergies or sensitivities that we become aware of (think how you feel going through the perfume section of a department store, or walking down the cleaning aisle or pest control isle of a grocery store or hardware store).
