Tips for challenging estate planning conversations with your family

My clients often express how stressful it can be to speak to their family members about the decisions they have made (or are in the process of making) when we are working on their estate planning documents. Sometimes the issue is that a parent’s adult children refuse to discuss these matters because the children are not willing to acknowledge that their parent could become incapacitated, or that death will occur at some point. It can be very hard for some adult children to view their parents as anything less than healthy, in charge, and invulnerable. The unique dynamics that every family has can compound the general problem of one person or the other not wanting to discuss these matters. A common example I see happens when one sibling lives nearby his or her parents and knows from regular interactions that mom and dad are beginning to face the realities of aging while a more distant sibling has trouble accepting that there are any issues. The “local” child may be engaging their parents in the necessary conversations about planning for incapacity, and eventually death, while the “non-local” child views this as inappropriate, or unnecessary.

Arkoosh ready to take on Labrador

Democratic candidate believes politics have no place in office of attorney general

Tom Arkoosh believes politics have no place in the office of attorney general. "Once you take the oath, it’s a nonpartisan position. The law is the law," Arkoosh said Friday during an interview with The Press. "The job of the attorney general is the objective application of the rule of law for things that matter to the people of Idaho," he said. "My opponent sees the office differently."

OPINION: Arkoosh says chaos will rule with Labrador

Tom Arkoosh of Boise, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, will tell anyone who listens that he is not a politician. His actions tell a different story. You “might” be a politician … if you are running against a former congressman, taking advice from the likes of Jim Jones and Betty Richardson, making political speeches and talking about his campaign with people who write about politics. So, at the moment, Arkoosh is every bit of a politician. If he were anything else, he would be swallowed up by his opponent in the race, former Congressman Raul Labrador. But Arkoosh, who has a deep legal background, says partisan politics goes out the window if he is elected.

Give Your Estate Plan A Little Love

We should all aim to have our legal planning in order, but how do you know if you have what you need in place? Spending a little time reviewing your estate plan every so often is a must. What should you look for? Let’s take it step by step. Estate planning consist primarily in putting into place those legal documents that each of us need to deal with what happens if we become incapacitated and what happens when we die. Establishing those documents is just the first step though. You should also be keeping those documents up to date as life goes on. If you have estate planning documents in place and have any doubt about whether those documents are complete or up to date, normally the best thing you could do is to bring them to an estate planning attorney to review and discuss with you.
