Independence is about more than managing day-to-day life. It also means having opportunities to participate, make choices, and be heard.

For people with disabilities, inclusion in civic life is an important part of belonging to a community. Support should respect the individual’s preferences, privacy, and ability to make their own choices.

As we approach Election Day, we recognize the importance of creating communities where people of all abilities are treated with dignity and respect.

Estate plans are meant to change as life changes.

Marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, the loss of a loved one, changes in finances, a move, or new health and long-term care needs can all affect whether an older plan still reflects your wishes.

Even if nothing significant has happened, reviewing your documents periodically can help identify outdated beneficiaries, decision-makers, or instructions.

As Estate Planning Awareness Week comes to a close, ask yourself one simple question: Does the plan I have today still fit the life I have today?

If it has been a while since your last review, Bassett Murray Law Group, PLLC can help you take a fresh look at what you have in place and determine whether updates may be appropriate.

What would happen if an illness or injury left you unable to manage your finances or communicate healthcare decisions?

Estate planning can prepare for that possibility during your lifetime.

Financial powers of attorney and healthcare planning documents allow you to choose trusted individuals who can act on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself. Without the proper legal authority in place, even close family members may face obstacles when trying to help.

Planning ahead gives you the opportunity to decide who you trust before a difficult situation arises.

If your powers of attorney or healthcare documents are missing or outdated, Estate Planning Awareness Week is a good reminder to review them.

A will is an important part of an estate plan, but it does not control everything you own.

Life insurance, retirement accounts, jointly owned property, trust assets, and other accounts may pass according to beneficiary designations or ownership arrangements rather than the instructions in your will.

That is why estate planning should look at the full picture.

Reviewing how your accounts, beneficiaries, trusts, and legal documents work together can help reduce conflicting instructions and make it more likely that your wishes are carried out as intended.

Bassett Murray Law Group, PLLC can help you review the pieces of your estate plan and identify areas that may need attention.

An estate plan is not only about documents. It is also about choosing the right people.

Depending on your plan, you may need to name a personal representative, trustee, financial agent, healthcare decision-maker, or guardian for minor children.

Those choices deserve careful thought. Consider who is dependable, able to make difficult decisions, organized enough to handle the responsibility, and willing to serve when needed.

The right person is not always the closest relative. What matters is choosing someone you trust to follow your wishes and act responsibly.

If you are unsure who should serve in these important roles, Bassett Murray Law Group, PLLC can help you understand what each responsibility involves.

Estate Planning Awareness Week starts today.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing five practical estate planning essentials to help you better understand what a complete plan can do for you and your family.

We’re starting with the foundation. An estate plan is about much more than deciding who receives your assets. It can also address who manages your affairs, who can make decisions if you cannot, and how your wishes should be carried out.

If you have never created a plan or are unsure whether yours is complete, this week is a good place to start.

Follow along each day as we break it down one step at a time.
