Each individual should be able to determine who receives their assets after they pass away. Without your wishes outlined in legal documents (Wills, Trusts, Estate Plans, etc.), state law will prevail and determine how the assets will be dispersed. These legal documents will lessen the stress load and lighten the burdens on those left behind.
Beyond planning ahead, it is important to communicate your wishes in terms of medical care should you become unable to make your own decisions. Living Wills and Powers of Attorney can make things easier on those tasked with making medical and financial decisions on your behalf.
In short, these documents ensure peace of mind now and in the future for you and your loved ones.

It’s nice to know someone like him is on your side when it seems like the rest of the world is out to get you.”
