~ Rita S.

In a time of sadness & grief, I searched the area for an attorney who would work with me and my budget. After the first call with Mrs. Heidi, I knew that I had found someone who truly cared, who was understanding and patient with my circumstances. She knew that I did not know much about the probate court (I felt so lost and defeated) and she went over and above to explain it all to me and what was going to be happening in the upcoming months. Probate court is not something that happens quickly, my family & I were out of our home for months on end and Mrs. Heidi did everything she could to expedite the process of us moving back in. She provided us with all the information, communicated everything with us as she found out and made the (tough) process so smooth. She is super knowledgeable in her scope and works thoroughly on the documents needed. I am very very grateful my family and I chose Heidi and I strongly recommend anyone who needs Estate Planning to inquire with her.
Not to mention, everyone who works in her office and beside of her is equally as amazing as she is. Her office staff was simply dedicated, always pleasant, compassionate, and kindhearted. They made me feel like we've been friends forever. They communicated with me & sympathized with me, they treated me like a person they loved, not just another customer, and they truly cared about how I was doing despite what I was going through at the time. I applaud them and Mrs. Heidi tremendously for everything they have done for us.
There are not enough words that could show my true appreciation and thankfulness for this group of people and this office.

How to Organize your Estate Planning Documents

If you are preparing to plan your estate, it is also essential for you to organize your estate planning documents to be easier for your loved ones to find. Here is a sample list of the types of documents that might be included:

  • Insurance policies
  • Deeds, trusts, wills, and other documents
  • Retirement accounts and pensions
  • Bank, mutual fund, and money market accounts
  • Items hidden away in safes and safe deposit boxes
  • Stocks and bonds
  • Heirlooms and photographs
  • List of individuals you wanted to be contacted upon your death

 

When determining how to organize these documents, keep in mind this will be an emotional time for your loved ones. We provide our clients with a binder with organizational tabs to put copies of all documents in but another solution is getting a portable handing file folder box like the one shown here:

organize your estate planning documents

Label each hanging file to correspond with the document inside and have a separate document in each file. This system will reduce the searching for your Personal Representative. However you decide to organize, put the end result in a safe place and make sure you communicate with your Personal Representative and Estate lawyer where this box of documents is stored. Do not put your funeral arrangements in with your Estate Planning documents. Your family will need to know your wishes to arrange your funeral before they address your Will.

If you don’t organize your estate planning documents, your family may suffer avoidable losses. In addition to property losses, relatives may not be notified of your death, and important information about your family history may not be passed along to future generations.
