Estate Planning Estate planning is the process by which you plan ahead, make informed decisions, record your plan in a legally enforceable way and maintain your plan as inevitable changes occur in your personal circumstances and applicable laws. Your estate plan will make it easier for you and loved ones to deal with future crises such as disability or death. You will know that your choices and decisions about personal care, handling your income and property will be done by those you choose to act for you. Matters will not be left up to others or for the court to decide. With your estate plan in place, your life and the lives of your loved ones can be more certain, less stressful and less complicated. Estate Plan An Estate Plan is the written, legally enforceable recording of a person’s estate planning decisions. Depending on the circumstances and the client’s decisions, an estate plan may be documented in a will, trusts, a family limited partnership, deeds, account ownership and beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, living will declaration and other advance directives. Proper estate planning now can greatly simplify things in the future, avoiding unnecessary expense and court involvement in the event of incapacity and death. Estate Plan Administration This is the process by which your plan is carried out by you and subsequently by those you name to act for you and your loved ones to manage your personal care as well as your income and property in the event of disability or death. Guardianship, Conservatorship and Probate These are legal court processes for a person who becomes disabled or passes away without an estate plan designed to avoid court involvement. A court and those designated by the court, rather than by you, supervise and make decisions for you and your loved ones about your care, the management of your income and property and the disposition of your property following death. While these processes are available when needed, they can be burdensome, introduce uncertainty, cause delay and involve considerable expense. Elder Law In addition to the laws, rules and regulations that affect all of our lives, elder law encompasses the totality of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations that specifically affect older persons. A few examples are the laws and government programs in such areas as social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits, pensions, health, skilled nursing care, elder abuse, guardianship, conservatorship, probate and public fiduciary programs. Medicaid and Long Term Care Long Term Care benefits are available for qualified Arizona residents through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona’s Medicaid agency. The program is approved under the Federal Medicaid law and regulations. In addition, Arizona laws and regulations set forth specific requirements which must be met. To receive benefits, an applicant must establish and maintain eligibility under the medical, income, resources and other non-medical requirements of this program. The spouse of a married applicant, called community spouse, has rights to retain certain resources and income for that spouse’s support. Content copyright . Cleere Law Offices, P.C.
