2020 has arrived and with that a list of resolutions that we want to achieve during the New Year. Why not add getting a FREE Estate Planning Kit from Arbor Memorial? It is a helpful set of tools to keep your affairs in order. Your comprehensive kit includes: Legal Will Guide:... Walks you through preparing your own will. Having a will guarantees that your personal wishes regarding your estate will be followed in a timely and efficient manner, and your loved ones will be provided for after youre gone. In fact, without a will, the cost of administering your estate increases, and your assets may not be distributed in the way you wish. Legal Will Form: It is a legal document, granting one or more people the authority to act on your behalf if you are unable to do so. You can appoint a Power of Attorney for both property and personal care. This guide explains the different types of Power of Attorney, how to set one up, and whom you might choose for the job. Official Family Registry: The book offers a simple yet comprehensive way to gather all the necessary information that your family, your lawyer and Executor may require after your death. Its also your assurance that all of your wishes will be understood by everyone concerned and be completely respected.
