By Lane V. Erickson<\/a>, Idaho Estate Planning Attorney<\/p>\n

I love being an estate planning attorney because I find that I can help individuals make a plan for every possible aspect of their lives. In fact, sometimes when people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them that I provide sleep insurance. When I say this, most people look at me funny. This gives me an opportunity to clarify that I am actually an estate planning attorney and that because of the work I do people are able to sleep well at night knowing that they and their family are protected through a well-thought-out plan.<\/p>\n

A basic estate plan would include a last will and testament<\/strong><\/a>, providing a person with the ability to decide who they want to give their money, property, and other assets to after they have died. It also includes a durable power of attorney<\/strong><\/a> and a power of attorney for healthcare<\/strong><\/a>. These documents give a person the ability to protect themselves while they are alive and make sure that they will be cared for and that their estate will be protected and used for their benefit. Additionally, we provide a living will<\/strong><\/a> which gives an individual the ability to make end-of-life decisions and provide specific instructions to their healthcare providers. Depending on a person’s circumstances we may also provide one or more trusts <\/strong><\/a>as part of their estate plan.<\/p>\n
