What kind of documents will help my family if I become incompetent or die?

Many people understand the importance of having a Will but fail to consider the importance of planning for the possibility of incompetence.

In addition to a Will, you may need a Power of Attorney to govern your financial matters; and a Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney, or other advance medical directive that states your preferences if you are unable to give informed consent.

In handling your financial affairs, whether upon incompetency or death, your family will find that a list of your assets and liabilities will be of great importance. This may save them many hours of searching, and reduce the potential that assets may be overlooked. Also, a list of insurance policies is helpful. You can greatly ease the burden of making such decisions, which are required on short notice, by providing a statement of your preferences regarding final arrangements, memorial services, and biographical information for an obituary.
