It is summertime, which means you and your family are hopefully planning at least one relaxing vacation over the next few. But before you leave on your trip, do you have everything in order with your estate planning? 

We are not trying to toss a wet blanket on your long-awaited plans maliciously. Our family here at Leigh Hilton, PLLC, wants you to enjoy your time away. With that said, it is crucial to be prepared for the unexpected. So besides the usual packing list, making arrangements for your home, and perhaps finding pet sitters, do not forget to get that other checklist in order.

Is Your Estate Plan in Order?

Do you have a Directive to Physicians specifying how you wish to be treated in an emergency? Is it easily accessible?
Have you signed documents indicating which family or friends may be contacted and have access to specific medical information?
Do one or more people have access to your car and medical insurance policies?
Do you have someone legally designated to act in your stead if you cannot make decisions or act on your own behalf?
Are there any messages you wish to communicate to family or friends if you do not see them again?

Yes, these are sobering thoughts. And it may take some effort to make sure these things are in place. But once you have checked every box on the list, you can confidently enjoy every moment of your adventure. 

Do not forget to take many pictures and plan to have a grand reunion with your loved ones when you arrive home.
