Estate Planning for Idahoans: Wills, Trusts, and Everything Else You Need to Take Care of Yourself and Your Loved Ones

Estate planning is something everyone should do. However, “Set up Estate Plan” often gets stuck on our mental “to do” list. We know it’s important but, with so many other demands on our time and attention, estate planning can be hard to prioritize. This book will help you check this critical item off your list by explaining the basics of the estate planning process in simple terms, discussing estate planning issues relevant to parents, blended families, unmarried couples, and other circumstances, answering common questions, and equipping you with the information you need to know when preparing your estate plan in Idaho.

Some of the many questions answered by this book are: What is an estate plan and why do I need one? How do my assets get to my beneficiaries after I die? Do I need a Revocable Living Trust? How do I protect myself in case of incapacity? How do I choose the right agents to effect my wishes? How do I set up an estate plan and why should I work with a lawyer? Shaila Buckley and Rachel Murphy are trust and estate attorneys who met the first week of classes at Stanford Law School back in 1999. By happy circumstance, they both made their way to Boise with their families ten years later, drawn by the exceptional quality of life in Idaho. They now work together at a law firm specializing in estate planning.
