Will your adult children find your porn stash?

People talk about the indignities of old age. Needing help with simple tasks like eating, bathing, and toileting. Not being able to drive. Not being able to get around. Ending up in a nursing home. The losses pile up.

Maybe you’ve seen it happen to your parents. Their retirement plan, with its focus on accumulating money and creating legal documents, didn’t prepare them for the problems created by incapacity. When they can no longer manage their affairs, you, the person named on their Power of Attorney, must take control.

It’s not easy. Nothing is where it’s supposed to be. Forced to go through your parents’ things to unearth the information you need to run their lives, you find more than you bargained for. Pictures from that toga party back in 1980, Daddy’s porn stash, and Mama’s love letters to an old flame are just the beginning. Some things you just can’t unsee.

Your parents didn’t plan for this. They didn’t know they needed to. They were certain they would die in their sleep. And then it hits you. The biggest indignity of old age isn’t the health problems; it’s humiliation of losing control of the ability to keep your private life private. If you haven’t planned for the reality of incapacity, the people who step in to run your life are going to discover things you’d rather they not see.

If you’re in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, it’s not too late to create a plan for retirement that goes beyond financial plans and legal documents to address all the problems created by long life and incapacity. It’s the only surefire way to keep your secrets out of the hands of the people you’ve chosen to manage your affairs. Get started now.

Congratulations! You are about to begin the process of completing estate planning documents – for free.

Before you get started, you should know that though this service is being provided by Life Point Law, an estate planning firm, by using the free service you will not be creating an attorney-client relationship, and no attorney will review your work. Estate planning can be complicated and generally requires some degree of legal analysis to ensure you have the right provisions. Especially if you have been married more than once, you have a blended family, or you have considerable wealth. We encourage you to seek some guidance, or at the very least, have a legal professional review your work before you call it completed.

Help is available. If you’re interested in getting a second opinion on the legal documents you have created, Life Point Law offers a Peace of Mind review that can put your mind at ease knowing you have dotted all your I’s and crossed all your T’s. Let our skilled attorneys review the legal documents you have created to make sure they meet your goals.

You may also want to drop by our offices to get your documents executed (witnessed and notarized) so they are in full force and effect when they need to be used.

You will receive an email soon with information about how to schedule your Peace of Mind Consultation.

By clicking ‘Start Working on Your Free Estate Plan’ below, you will acknowledge your understanding that no attorney-client relationship exists between Life Point Law and yourself.
