Guardingship and Conservatorship

Have you told your adult children your plans and wishes for your golden years?

Have you told your adult children your plans and wishes for your golden years? If you’re like most of us, you probably haven’t. At least not yet.

A Guardian or Conservator is needed when a loved one is not able to make sound decisions for himself on an ongoing basis. This is different from a Health Care Proxy who may make decisions in the short-term during a medical emergency.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Estate Planning

It’s never easy to talk about uncomfortable topics.

It’s never easy to talk about uncomfortable topics. And few things are more difficult to talk about than death or dying, particularly with a loved one. But after talking with your parents, you’ll have peace of mind, because you won’t be left guessing what mom and dad would have wanted.

Estate planning is so much more than preparing a will to instruct loved ones after your death; it’s preparing a plan for you to maintain control over your life in the event of a crisis. Estate planning protects you and your loved ones of all generations now and in the future, no matter what life brings.
