There is no right or wrong time in your life to see a Durham attorney about setting up an estate plan. Folks tend to believe that estate plans, and specifically wills, are something we only need to worry about when we get old. However, no one is guaranteed a tomorrow and it is important to make sure your wishes are made known.
Losing a loved one is never easy and it can be even harder if that loss was unexpected. The last thing you want is any added stress. We have talked about the importance of a Will in the past, and how it is important to get one to ensure that your wishes are followed and your family is taken care of in the manner you would want. You may also find it helpful to have a Power of Attorney, Health care Power of Attorney, and Living Will set up at the same time. All of these documents can let your family, doctors, and the state know what your wishes are in case anything happens.
