elderly estate planning
If you are turning 65 and you want to protect your assets for your children and grandchildren in the event of your death, it is a wise idea to start with your elderly estate planning. There are many avenues to take when preparing your living will and other related documents for your future and life as a retiree. You can seek legal help to assist you with your elderly estate planning, or you can look into free government services if you cannot afford to hire a lawyer.
Many documents created during your elderly estate planning must be signed, dated, and notarized by a public notary. Some of the documents you will need to consider and create include a living will, a living trust, and also durable power of attorney and health care advisor contracts or advance directives. You will want to think about such things as will you want to be on life support if it is medically necessary to keep you alive? Do you want to be resuscitated in the event that your heart fails? Also, do you want to donate body parts, do you want to be buried or cremated, and other such difficult questions? How will you pay for funeral and burial expenses?
