Four Important Documents

Change. Theres is nothing as constant, and nothing as inevitable. While you cannot stop change

from happening, you can be prepared to deal with it.

The first step is to have the four documents that all adults should have.

First is a driver’s license or (if you don’t drive) an identification card.

Second is voter registration card. As a citizen you have a right to vote. After all, it’s your

country. You have a responsibility to peacefully participate in helping decide its future.

Third is a properly drafted and executed Last Will and Testament. A Will spells out how you

want your estate handled after your death. No matter the size of your estate, your property and

assets will be distributed when you die. A Will is your final chance to make your wishes known.

Without a Will, state laws determine who gets what.

Fourth is a Power of Attorney and Living Will for health care. A Power of Attorney designates

someone to make financial decisions for you when you are unable to make them yourself. A

Living Will outlines your end-of-life wishes and your preferences for life-sustaining medical

treatment.

While your local Department of Transportation will help you get a driver’s license or

identification card, and the local Board of Elections will help you register to vote, creating a Last

Will and Testament and a Power of Attorney Living Will are another matter.

Both are extremely important documents. Done properly with the guidance of an attorney, they

are powerful tools.
