At Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, we give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have prepared for the inevitabilities of life. We accomplish this through our signature approach to planning that goes beyond the mere preparation of cookie-cutter documents.
Your estate plan indicates how you want your assets to be managed during your lifetime, and how you want them distributed upon your death. A carefully considered estate plan often includes legal documents and directives that state your wishes and authorize the people you trust to assure that your estate planning goals are accomplished. A successful estate plan will give you peace of mind.
Some estate planning documents are executed and effective while you are alive, so that your assets and personal affairs are carefully managed in the way that you want, even if you are no longer able to manage them on your own. These documents are often used to preserve assets in the event that a nursing facility, or another type of long-term care, is needed. They include:
- Financial Powers of Attorney
- Health Care Powers of Attorney
- Health Care Advance Directives/Living Will
- Trusts
Other estate planning documents are designed to be effective after your death. These documents help assure that your assets are distributed in accordance with the law, to the designated beneficiaries, and in the amounts specified. They include:
- Last Wills and Testaments
- Trusts
- Beneficiary Designations
At Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, our goal is to give you peace of mind. Call us at 1-800-351-8334 to schedule a consultation.
