Silent Auction Items

Item Description

A Basic Will with Advance Directives, valued at $500.00, offer expires April 1, 2014.

An updated, concise, well-drafted estate plan is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your spouse, your children, and your heirs. Have you ever thought about what would happen to your family should
you die or become disabled? Dying without an estate plan can throw your heirs into a legal quagmire that can cost thousands of dollars in legal fees, taxes and other costs that could have been avoided with
proper planning. In addition, for families with children, a properly drafted and current will with a guardianship appointment is critical. Without a will, your children’s future will be left to the decision of
the courts.
The basic estate plan starts with a simple will plus advance directives to cover healthcare issues. If you
have children, the basic plan is modified to include the guardianship provisions that will appoint
someone to care for your children if you die.
