Resolve to Get Your Affairs in Order this Spring
When the calendar changes , people sometimes don ’ t just embark upon a new month and a new season , but they may experience certain life changes . The family dynamics may change with a gain or loss of loved ones , children entering adulthood or starting college . Family members sometimes suffer an injury or illness , get married , or experience divorce .
Alternatively , changes during the year may have been more material in nature . For example you bought or sold a house , retired , or received a large gift or inheritance .
Each one of these changes impacts our lives - and also the lives of those around us . The effects may reverberate not just during one month or a particular year , but also into the future . The start of the 2017 Spring Season is the perfect time for all of us to reflect , and to resolve to make any necessary changes , to ensure that our loved ones are protected , and our affairs are in order .
“ Spring time is a good time to take stock of our lives , and bring order to our lives ,” said Joe Covelli of Covelli Law Offices . “ A lot of people experience life-changing events over the course of a year that call for discussion – and require attention . Combine that topic with the new sprouting buds and new laws regarding estate planning - and a review makes total sense . It might only take you 15 to 30 minutes . I find that I ’ m informing some folks ( often for the first time ) of the content of their asset titles and financial holdings - and we discuss their objectives should something happen to them .”
Certain life changes can dictate how your assets are distributed if you pass away . A divorce will lead to the breakup of your family unit and a new marriage may result in stepchildren or adopted children . A blended family may require attention on your part to assure that everyone is treated fairly . If not clearly spelled out , things can get complicated very quickly . The satisfaction of placing things in order contributes to peace of mind .
When travelling by car or plane during the coming warm months , the possibility of injury certainly exists . If you ’ re in a situation where your children or grandchildren are going to spend time staying with family members or friends , and there is sickness , an accident or illness - who gets the parental power of attorney ( where another person can be given the power to make treatment decisions in your absence as a parent )? We can review these matters ahead of time - before you ’ re in the middle of these situations – which can provide you with assurance … and peace of mind .
