Elder Law FAQs
Adults and their family members will benefit from elder law services at whatever point in their lives they reach out to them. Many people only seek these services when they think they’ve run out of options or after a loved one has passed, but proactive planning is the best way to set yourself up for financial security. The earlier you start seeking comprehensive help, the better off you’ll be when the need arises for those plans to be put into action.
Several circumstances require updating a will, including the death of a spouse, divorce, re-marriage, or marriage for the first time since creating the will. It is also necessary to update wills if they were created when children were minors, after moving to a new state, or after acquiring significant property. We advise consulting with an attorney at Elder Law Lawyers every three to five years or after a major life event to see if any changes should be made to your will.
Estate planning documents play a crucial role in ensuring that your wishes are honored and your interests are protected during unforeseen circumstances, and they can be needed at any point in your adult life. In Kentucky, the most important documents to have are: a power of attorney, a will, and a living will.
By proactively creating and updating these estate planning documents, you can secure peace of mind, protect your interests, and ensure that your affairs are managed according to your intentions.
Life is unpredictable, and hoping for the best is easier when you’ve already planned for the worst. A power of attorney (POA) is a document that grants a designated individual the authority to make decisions on your behalf in case of incapacity or emergencies. This prevents potential challenges and ensures that your affairs are managed according to your preferences.
From expressing the kinds of medical care you’re comfortable with to accessing important legal documents on your behalf, a designated power of attorney grants you peace of mind in the most crucial circumstances.
A will and living will are essential components of estate planning that outline how your assets should be distributed upon your passing and provide guidance on critical medical decisions, respectively.
Without these key documents in place, important matters such as asset distribution and end-of-life care could be left to chance or legal interpretation, potentially leading to delays, disputes, or decisions that may not align with your wishes.
