You may not feel like you are “old enough” for an estate plan but if you ask me, the moment you turn 18 it is a good idea to have one. Estate planning isn’t just about being wealthy or old. Estate planning is about protecting yourself, the people you love, and making sure your wishes are known and followed.

We will get to know your family, your goals, and your wishes so we can create a plan that actually makes sense for your life. I’ll give you straightforward advice, personal attention, and a little less legal jargon along the way.

What does an estate plan actually include?

everyone’s estate plan looks a little different because everyone’s family and circumstances are just different. Estate planning is something that grows as you grow. For example, a young adult should really have a general durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, and advance directives. As that young adult grows older, their needs change and so will their estate plan. When you get married, have children, or obtain assets a will becomes increasingly more important. Not to mention that young adult may want to update their agent under their power of attorney from their mom to their spouse.

Depending on your circumstances a Colorado estate plan may include:

• Last Will and Testament

• Revocable Trust

• Generable Durable Power of Attorney

• Medical Power of Attorney

• Living Will aka Advance Directives

• Guardianship Planning

• Beneficiary Designation Planning

• Pet Planning

There is no one-size-fits-all estate plan. I am here to help you figure out which one is right for you.
