What goes in your Will?

It can be tricky deciding how to divide your estate among your children and/or step-children. Should everyone be given an equal amount? Maybe. Maybe not. Perhaps you might decide to give unequal shares, given an individual’s circumstances. Maybe one child cared for you as you have aged and you want to reward them for the devotion. It could be that one child has requested or needed more financial assistance throughout their life than another child, and you decide to leave more to the one who did not receive as much financial assistance when you’re gone.

What Does Estate Planning Mean to You?

Are You Recently Divorced?

Divorce can have a major impact on your estate plan.  Do not put off updating documents that have your former spouse listed on them.  Is your former spouse listed as your power of attorney for health care?  Do you really want him/her making those decisions for you?  What about your home – is your former spouse listed to receive the property if you pass away?  You should also think about updating beneficiaries for life insurance, retirement accounts, investment accounts, etc.  Contact Crane Elder Law Firm for a 15-minute consultation to discuss your situation.
