Estate Planning Before, During and After Divorce

I was recently a guest on Divorce Talk Radio, is a weekly live radio show hosted by Stephanie Watson the Divorce Editor on BellaOnline.com. I talked about protecting yourself during divorce by making sure you have a properly prepared estate plan. This includes making sure you have a valid health care proxy so that the person of your choice, and not your soon-to-be-ex, is making decisions about your health care if you are unable, and having a durable power of attorney that allows someone you select to handle your property if you become unable. The episode also covers the legal documents and designations that you can't change once your divorce has been filed, and the steps you should take after divorce to make sure your wishes are honored when it comes to your property, especially any property you might be leaving to minor children.
