The Basics of Estate and Health Planning
Every adult should have the following regardless of your age. A will: Your will is the keystone of your estate plan. It spells out how your assets will be distributed
and how your dependents will be cared for in your absence. If a will is properly prepared, witnessed,
and signed, it ensures that your wishes regarding these matters will be carried out. Living Wills and Advanced Directives: These documents let you write out instructions about the
type of health care you want to receive, including who should oversee your treatment, if you are
unable to communicate these instructions yourself. Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney is a legal document in which you give another person legal
authority to act for you if you ever become incapacitated. A Durable Power of Attorney authorizes
your agent to continue to act for you after you become incapacitated. This document ends at your
death. It can take effect as soon as you sign it. A medical record release (HIPAA Release): A medical record release authorizes your doctor and
your hospital (and any other medical professional) to release your personal medical records and to
discuss your records with anyone you have specified in the release. |
