Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Your estate planning process is entirely private and confidential. Your friends and family members are not entitled to know what’s in your will or trust, and are not allowed to be a part of your estate planning process in privileged communications with your attorney.
When you’re choosing an attorney for estate planning, it’s crucial to find someone with whom you feel comfortable sharing your biggest fears, secrets, and wishes. This person will be the person you call for all your big life events, so trust and honesty have to be at the forefront.
Your power of attorney is so important for ensuring your family isn’t left to make decisions about your health and life in the event you cannot make decisions for yourself. Your power of attorney ensures you get to write your last chapter and leave your family to execute those wishes guilt-free.
