Planning for the future is the responsible thing to do. Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your family is aware of your wishes and knows what to do in the event of your passing:
⦁ Does your family know what, and where, your assets are? For instance – a safety deposit box? What bank do you use for your accounts? Who is your financial planner? Be sure to write the location of all assets down so your family is aware.
⦁ Can your family access your assets? Safety deposit keys, passwords and other authorizations should be documented in your will.
⦁ Is anything on auto-pay? Remember to document account numbers and recurring bill payments in your estate plan.
Included under the area of Wills includes the drafting of Living Wills which outlines your wishes for end of life treatments. Living Wills summarize how you’d like age and illness related medical care managed on your behalf. Mark Marsh and his team also provide clients with an independent will review.
