Lewis Law Office, P.A.

Does your family know what you want done when you die? Have you signed a Last Will and Testament to provide instructions for the passing of your assets? Would you also like to protect assets for the use of your family in the event you are injured or incapacitated? Do you know what a Trust is and how it can help you manage your assets during your life AND after your death? Did you know that you can leave a lasting comment about your beliefs in your Will. This is known as the “Testament” portion of your Will, yet so many people do not even realize they can declare this in their Will! Historically the Last Will & Testament has included both portions, yet modern society seems only concerned with assets and who gets what rather than learning about the person and knowing their final belief through the Testament introduction statement portion of the Will. It is the statement of who you are, not just your name!

These Questions Will Be Asked

• Who will take care of you if you suffer a mental decline by accident or by age/senility?
• Who will speak for you if you’re unable to speak for yourself?
• Who will handle your assets and final expenses after you pass?
• Who will take care of your minor children if something happens to you?
• Are you an organ/tissue donor?

Do you know the answer to these questions – and more – for yourself? Your parents? Your children?

The law answers these questions for you, but only if you don’t answer these questions (and others) in a way that meets the legal standards.

You Have Choices

Families are the foundation of who we all are and how we live. If, like me, you are a parent, you understand the desire to take care of your family. If, like me, you have gradually aging family members, like a mom or dad, then you cherish being able to take care of them and respect their wishes.

A cloud of uncertainty hangs over your life and your children’s lives without proper planning, such as a Last Will and Testament, a Living Will about life support issues, or other advance directive documents.

By meeting with an attorney while you are mentally and physically healthy and able to make your own decisions, you can set in place your wishes with the right plan, the right documents, executed in the right way. Then you’ll minimize the need to go to court where a judge will decide what you and your family are allowed to do based on statutes.

Statutes are for the protection of the general public, but may not match your desires.
