Make Sure Your Estate Planning Is Up to Date
Locate Copies of Estate Planning Documents, especially Health Documents:
Make sure that your health care proxy (which names a person to make medical decisions for you if you cannot do so yourself) and living will (gives guidance to your proxy of your wishes for end of life care) are available and up-to-date. If you cannot locate copies of your documents, will or revocable trust, please contact us and we will send or email them to you.
