Summertiiiime....and time to get your stuff in order

5/1/2017

Here at the Jacobson Law Firm, we have assisted hundreds of teachers and other school district employees and their families with drafting estate plans and the like.  The one constant we hear is, "I just don't know when I'll have time to come in and get it done."

We get it - I teach business law at the undergraduate and MBA levels, my mom was a guidance counselor for years and I have a daughter who's just finishing her first year as a second grade teacher.  I'm shocked at the amount of time put in by the people who teach, guide and shepherd our kids for the  school year, not to mention the amount of their own money they contribute to giving their kids the best experience possible.

As the school years (K-12 and post-secondary) draw to a close, put on your summer to-do list a promise to schedule a meeting with an estate planning law firm to put this one thing to bed.  A basic estate plan consists of a will, a financial power of attorney, a medical power of attorney and a directive to physicians (or "living will").  If you have kids, you need an estate plan.  If you own property, you need an estate plan.  If you go on field trips, you need an estate plan.   If you spend 14-18 hours a day either teaching kids or preparing to teach kids or grading the stuff you taught kids - you need an estate plan.  You have at least 10 weeks off - take care of it.  Oh, and NOT the week before school starts!
