In a recent interview, the founder of Von Rock Law PC in San Francisco, CA, elaborated that a last will and testament and a family trust will often smooth estate planning worries for a family when a person dies or becomes incapacitated.

Von Rock added: “Dying without making a will can cause unnecessary grief for loved ones and provoke fights in areas where there is doubt over the estate.

“And dying intestate could result in a probate court allocating your assets in a way you never intended. While we can’t control every aspect of our lives, we can control what happens to our assets.”

Being clear should be part of any estate planning, and having an updated will, can narrow out any room for doubt and argument. These typically encompass who will be the executor to carry out a person’s wishes, who takes care of any young children, and how property and assets are divided.

Von Rock emphasized estate planning should include detailed medical and financial powers of attorney. A medical power of attorney with healthcare directives is vital when you are incapable of making medical decisions. It allows a nominated person to make decisions on your behalf and follow your instructions.

“This rings true for financial power of attorney as that person will ensure bills are paid, and any financial matters are handled promptly,” she said. “Medical and financial documents are only good during life, so consult a specialized lawyer when putting together all the proper living and death documents.”

She said an alternate person should also be listed as an executor if the first choice, usually a spouse, cannot fulfil the role. Von Rock concluded: “If something untoward does happen, an estate plan can help save you and your family headaches and heartaches down the line.”
