Let's talk about a will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy and HIPAA. When faced with my ovarian cancer diagnosis, I needed to get my affairs in order and consider final arrangements to bring me peace of mind. One of the first things that I did was to update my estate plan, followed by a series of other financial moves. My experience as a probate litigator, who saw what happens when individual's plans are not discussed and communicated with the family, I ensured that everyone knew the details of my plan and what they would receive. It is a gift to your family to ensure that your affairs are in order and you communicate your preferences, so there is no question of intent.
