Power of attorney
One of the things that most people need but don’t do is estate planning. According to AARP, 60% of Americans don’t have any estate plan in place. The younger generations are less likely to have an estate plan, leaving them vulnerable.
No matter what your age or economic situation is, hiring the services of a Seattle, Tacoma & Olympia wills lawyer is highly recommended. This is an important part of creating a comprehensive estate plan.
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone the authority to make decisions on your behalf. The person who gives the POA is called the principal, and the person who receives it is called the agent or attorney-in-fact.
Living Wills
Living wills and other advance directives are written, legal instructions regarding your preferences for medical care if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. Advance directives guide choices for doctors and caregivers if you're terminally ill, seriously injured, in a coma, in the late stages of dementia or near the end of life.
Tax Planning
Tax planning is the analysis of a financial situation or plan to ensure that all elements work together to allow you to pay the lowest taxes possible. A plan that minimizes how much you pay in taxes is referred to as tax efficient.
